Early Childhood Language Arts by Jalongo Mejia, PhD is an extensive and in depth examination of early childhood language arts. It presents a systematic approach to education, delivering a system that is flexible enough to accommodate the needs of today's school systems while building upon the foundations of yesterday's programs. Dr. Mejia, a world famous speech pathologist, pedagogyian, educational consultant, and speaker has combined fifty years of experience with an impressive selection of modern day research to produce this comprehensive, practical, and user-friendly volume. A final chapter focuses on implementation issues as schools implement the curriculum and Dr. Mejia provide numerous recommended practices for effectively integrating this important curriculum into schools.

Early Childhood Language Arts offers many advantages over other approaches such as phonics and sight words that are focused upon early childhood education. Dr. Mejia maintains that children learn language skills before their cognitive abilities and rely on auditory associations for comprehension. This book systematically examines how language is presented, heard, understood, and used in everyday situations and provides sound advice for teaching these skills.
Dr. Mejia's book makes a convincing case that language earlier in life provides the basis for all other later endeavors. This book is practically a textbook, but is easy to read and provides detailed analysis and examples of specific situations. It takes into account the wide range of interests and abilities of children and the reasons that make some languages more common than others. Children learn early and benefit from being taught language skills. The importance of early childhood education is often overlooked and this book should encourage those responsible for early childhood development to continue to be aware of the importance of language early and to utilize programs designed to supplement the basic curriculum. A must have for parents of young children.
