UGA faculty member Paula Schwanenflugel, a professor in the applied cognition and development program in the department of educational psychology and instructional technology, has co-authored a book that focuses on building foundational literacy skills through science and social studies lessons.
PAVEd for Success: Building Vocabulary and Language Development in Young Leaders, co-authored by Claire E. Hamilton of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, was written to help early childhood educators teach vocabulary and oral language skills through lessons that introduce key social studies and science terms.
The book is based on Kindergarten PAVEd for Success, a vocabulary instruction program developed by Schwanenflugel and Hamilton that has been shown to have a positive impact on the vocabulary and academic achievement of kindergarten students.
