Vygotsky in the Classroom: Mediated Literacy Instruction and Assessment

Designed to help teachers think about, analyze, and make decisions on literacy instruction, this book provides the conceptual framework and methodology to put the ideas of Lev Vygotsky into practice for classroom literacy instruction. The book claims that Vygotsky's ideas provide a cohesive framework and an operational model that teachers can use to integrate and apply topics in literacy learning such as whole language, emergent literacy, writing, integrating literature in content areas, collaborative learning, teacher decision making, technology as a tool for literacy development, and dynamic assessment for explaining children's diversity in and potential for literacy development.
