"Pre-K Stories" offers a lively exploration of how one classroom community played with and collaboratively engaged in authorship. Through everyday stories, readers are invited to witness and engage with classroom practices that honor young children's brilliance and build on their questions, interests, and strengths. Weaving together literacy, language arts, social studies, science, mathematics, and more, the authors illustrate how curriculum can be authentically and meaningfully integrated. They also offer a unique perspective on the development of language and literacy practices by framing children's play narratives as the foundation from which rich curricula can grow. "Pre-K Stories" allows readers to experience the rich cadence of a classroom while also coming to understand important theories that undergird early childhood teaching and young children's learning. Book features include: (1) Rich descriptions and examples of 4-year-old children's authoring and writing processes; (2) Engaging narratives from the perspective of an early childhood teacher and students; (3) A unique perspective on the development of language and literacy practices through children's play; (4) A view of young children as powerful and capable of co-constructing curriculum with teachers; and (5) A dynamic approach that has broad implications for literacy and integrative curriculum practices in early childhood.
