Assignment: Early Literacy
Explores the concept of emergent literacy. It presents techniques and principles for building on the child's experiences with reading and writing. Emphasis is on exploring a variety of literacy materials in a naturalistic, functional fashion, and reading and writing for real purposes. Whereas emergent literacy is seen as continuously evolving, certain awareness's and strategies or skills are important for successful performance with conventional literacy: knowledge of the purposes and uses of print, alphabet knowledge, and phonological awareness. Techniques for teaching and reinforcing these areas are presented. In addition, the chapter explores reading programs in kindergarten and preschool and assessment of emergent literacy. It features informal emergent literacy measures. As you read through chapter focus on the most effective ways to develop young children's literacy and foster their social and emotional growth.
