Susan Mandel Glazer's Books

Words Matter enables teachers to observe their actions and ask, “Do I know how children perceive my behaviors?" It also helps them to understand reasons for children’s responses to their words and actions. Teachers’ behaviors are categorized in vignettes, and readers determine where they fit and what changes ought to be made for their teaching practices to be more effective.

Semantic mapping, a categorical structuring of information in graphic form, has been used successfully in many classrooms. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to this instructional strategy and presents the theory that underlies the proven effectiveness of the semantic mapping procedure. Numerous examples of completed maps are included.

This text presents an account of how young children's spoken and written language develops before formal schooling. It emphasizes the integration of speaking, listening, writing and reading: and illustrates how children learn and use these processes to connect with others, understand their world and express themselves.

Integrated Language Arts in the Elementary School reflects many of the most important recent developments in language arts teaching both in the United States and internationally. In keeping with current theory and research in children's language learning, the text emphasizes the view that the language areas should not be isolated into separate areas of study but should be integrated with an emphasis on whole meaningful experiences that absorb and engage students.

Part of a series designed to provide practical ideas parents can use to help children become readers, this booklet focuses on how parents can encourage their children to read and write. The booklet describes how individuals learn to use language; discusses how to encourage the use of language; urges parents to build positive attitudes toward reading, writing, and speaking by praising the child's efforts and leaving correction for the classroom; suggests ways to demonstrate the purposes of reading, writing, and speaking; and encourages making books readily available to children, describing children's needs from birth to age 12 and including some book suggestions to meet these needs. A short list of recommended reading for parents and a list of resources available from the International Reading Association conclude the booklet. (SR)
