What is Emergent Literacy?
Key Terms
• Alphabetic principle• Phonemic
awareness• Reading readiness• Cognitive
development• Auditory perception• Visual perception
• Motor skills • Shared literacy
experience• Zone of proximal
development• Invented spelling• Graphemes
Emergent literacy….
• Begins before formal instruction• Learning about reading, writing and
print• Understand functions of print• Alphabetic principle• Phonological awareness• Storybook reading
Strong Relationship between
Language developmentand
Literacy skills
..
“What the child learns at home

development.”
Emergent Literacy
vs.Reading “readiness”
Cognitive Development
• Concept development• Language development• Listening development• Classification*• Quantitative skills (more than; #’s)
By Kindergarten
• 8000 words
(know almost all basic grammatical forms of their
language)
Components
• Phonological awareness• Experiences with Print• Experiences with using language• Letter recognition• Storybook Reading
Invented Spelling
• 5 Stages:– Precommunicative (3-6 yrs.)– Semiphonetic 1-2 letters; consonants 5-9– Phonetic (others can figure it out) 6-12– Transitional (vowels; “real”) 7-12– Conventional 8-adult
Zone of Proximal Development
Experiences that promote EL
• Shared literacy• zone of proximal development• Invented spelling• Phonemic awareness
Identifying special needs Children
• Inadequate motor development• Language delays• Speech disorders• Poor cognitive development
Are computers appropriate for this age?
Assessment
• Portfolios• Checklists• Anecdotal records• Published tests• Systematic observation
