Early Childhood Research and Practice (ECRP), a peer-reviewed Internet-only journal sponsored by the Early Childhood and Parenting (ECAP) Collaborative at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, covers topics related to the development, care, and education of children from birth to approximately age 8. The journal emphasizes articles reporting on practice-related research and on issues related to practice, parent participation, and policy. Also included are articles and essays that present opinions and reflections. The first part of this issue of ECRP features commentary (James Lonigan) on a study of preschool models and later school success (Rebecca Marcon) that was published in the Spring 2002 issue of ECRP. Marcon's reply to this commentary is also featured, along with an introduction to the discussion (Lilian G. Katz). The second part of the journal issue presents five articles as follows: (1) "The Gift of Time: Enactments of Developmental Thought in Early Childhood Practice" (M. Elizabeth Graue, Janice Kroeger, and Christopher Brown); (2) "Instant Video Revisiting for Reflection: Extending the Learning of Children and Teachers" (Seong B. Hong and Jane T. Broderick); (3) "Understanding the Relationships among American Primary-Grade Teachers and Korean Mothers: The Role of Communication and Cultural Sensitivity to the Linguistically Diverse Classroom" (Heayoung Yang and Mary Benson McMullen); (4) "Preschool Teachers' Play Experiences Then and Now" (Annette Sandberg and Ingrid Pramling Samuelsson); and (5) "Applying an Analytic Writing Rubric to Children's Hypermedia 'Narratives'" (Michael S. Mott, Cynthia Etsler, and Deondra Drumgold). The issue concludes with both English and Spanish-language versions of an article describing a project on bones undertaken by 5-year-olds in a bilingual school in Mexico City. (HTH)
