Syntax: Knowledge to Practice brilliantly fills a void in theory-to-practice writing by arming instructors with best practices for teaching young children the essential foundational skills they need to begin their journeys as writers."William Van Cleave, W.V.C.ED, Educational Consultant and Author, Writing Matters"Gillis and Eberhardt's new handbook, Syntax: Knowledge to Practice, is a welcome resource for teachers who want to know how to teach sentence skills in engaging and effective ways. Throughout the book, the authors employ a structured yet meaning-centered approach that emphasizes the role, or function, of words in sentences. This instructional focus on fostering the sense of sentence patterns holds great promise for "helping grammar stick" in children who struggle to internalize grammatical rules."Charles Haynes, Ed.D., CCC-SLP; Professor, MGH Institute of Health Professions, Boston; Author, From Talking to Writing: Strategies for Supporting Narrative and Expository WritingSyntax: Knowledge to Practice is for any educator who's wondered: * How is grammar related to syntax?* How does syntax (sentence-level skills) instruction improve text comprehension and written expression?* Why should syntax be taught in the context of writing?* How should syntactic awareness be taught?* Why teach meaning links to improve text cohesion?The Literacy How Professional Learning Series will include five Knowledge to Practice e-books: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Syntax, and Reading Comprehension.Each title in the series includes:* Relevant Research--The research basis for that domain of literacy development presented against the backdrop of the Chall's stages of reading development, with key research points presented in a bullet-point style* Knowledge for Effective Instruction--Background knowledge and the principles that guide instruction for that domain* Activities for Instruction and Informal Assessment--A collection of evidence-based activities written in an objective-driven format for that component of literacy instruction (with access to printable versions) * Text Selection Skills Analyses--Stage-specific text selections (i.e., predictable, code-emphasis, and authentic) illustrate using text to advance skill application* Appendix--Recommended resources for content and more in depth information referenced in the e-book.

Phonemic Awareness and Phonics: Knowledge to Practice is for any educator who's wondered: * What is the difference between phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, and phonics? * What are phonemes and how are they organized and produced? * What are the st/ages of phonological awareness development? * What activities support the development of phonological and phonemic awareness? * What can problems with phonemic awareness indicate? * What is the ultimate goal of phonics instruction? * How should letter names be taught? * What is the connection between phonemic awareness and phonics? * What are graphophonemic connections and why are they important? * What are syllable types and why should I teach them? * Why is "invented spelling" important and when is it relevant? * What is the role of code-emphasis (aka decodable) text in learning to read? "Authors Eberhardt and Gillis set the Phonemic Awareness stage providing two brief, but necessary, sections to build and confirm prior knowledge in this foundational component of beginning reading. Para professionals, novice and veteran teachers will benefit from the Relevant Research and Knowledge for Effective Instruction sections. The book's gem is found in the robust Activities for Instruction and Informal Assessment section. User-friendly activities are organized by domains and sequenced by stages of reading development. To be sure that teachers are not teaching skills in isolation without opportunities for transfer to text, Text Analysis examples are presented in the same order as the activities. This brilliant addition is often missed by many authors of this subject area. This addition to Literacy How Professional Learning Series will provide awesome professional development for teachers, administrators and Paraprofessionals. Relevant references for informal assessments and resources add to the book's appeal." Sheryl Ferlito, Ed.S., co-author of Sortegories, contributing writer of Language! and Language! Live, Special Education teacher/learning consultant "Gillis and Eberhardt have condensed so much information into a manageable sized text. This is the kind of knowledge and accompanying practices that make such a difference in teachers' ability to move the needle for struggling readers. The activities they present are really solid and would be easy for teachers to do. This knowledge to practice approach is missing in a lot of resources out there for teachers. Everyone interested in understanding and guiding the reading development of children should be excited that Gillis and Eberhardt are now making the deep knowledge and exemplary practices of Literacy How available to us all in this book series."

Download and read online ebook Understanding Syntax write by Maggie Tallerman. This book was released on 2014-11-13. Understanding Syntax available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Assuming no prior knowledge, Understanding Syntax illustrates the major concepts, categories and terminology associated with the study of cross-linguistic syntax. A theory-neutral and descriptive viewpoint is taken throughout. Starting with an overview of what syntax is, the book moves on to an explanation of word classes (such as noun, verb, adjective) and then to a discussion of sentence structure in the world’s languages. Grammatical constructions and relationships between words in a clause are explained and thoroughly illustrated, including grammatical relations such as subject and object; function-changing processes such as the passive and antipassive; case and agreement processes, including both ergative and accusative alignments; verb serialization; head-marking and dependent-marking grammars; configurational and non-configurational languages; questions and relative clauses. The final chapter explains and illustrates the principles involved in writing a brief syntactic sketch of a language, enabling the reader to construct a grammatical sketch of a language known to them. Data from approximately 100 languages appears in the text, with languages representing widely differing geographical areas and distinct language families. The book will be essential for courses in cross-linguistic syntax, language typology, and linguistic fieldwork, as well as for basic syntactic description.
