Birch, Sondra H. and Gary W. Ladd. "The Teacher-Child Relationship And Children's Early
School Adjustment". Journal of School Psychology 35.1 (1997): 61-79. Web.
According to Birch and Gary it states that a teacher and child relationship is the the most
important function for the young in order for the child to feel comfortable in their own school
environment. For instance there is a hypothesis that if children who are more positively involved
with their teachers they are the ones that display better adjustments to school environments. It
also explains that of children have positive relationships with teachers there expected to perform
better academically instead of the children who are less close to have a relationship with the
child.
This study examine the genre in which children prefer to have positive relationships with
teacher instead of not having one. Children are most like to gain better academics when they
have a long lasting bonds with their teacher instead of those. The surveys and the case studies
helped the researchers gain information about how students who were in classes especially those
who attend primary schools are the ones that build close relationships because there the students
who spend most time with only one teacher. Instead students who are teenagers have to build a
relationship with multiple teachers and a part of it only a few student can bond with a possibility
of two teachers.

provided justification for why each of the sections of the article, for instance being able to
explain the benefits of play, the different factors that have changed the routine of childhood, or

Many, Joyce. Handbook Of Instructional Practices For Literacy Teacher-Educators. Mahwah,
N.J.: L. Erlbaum Associates, 2000. Print.
Manys book offers the instructional practices for literacy teacher educators which in one of the
chapters it explains furthermore the literacy development in the early years which helping
children read and write. Buy this the teacher are able to guide the students to succeed in their
classroom such as by being able to give the child the full run experience. For instance the
teachers are able to give lectures, whole group discussions, and group projects. Its a great
strategy for the students to learn on their own especially with other peers.
By analyzing this article I was able to see that the handbook has different strategies that teachers
are able to use especially those who are upcoming teachers as well. It gives them a guide in order
for the student to learn. For instance in one example they use a method where the teacher was
able to explain the ways of writing such as how to be a good writer. Not only did the teacher
explain how to be a great writer but also how to write in a way that the audience is able to read it
too as well.
