Main Perspectives on Early


Reading and Writing
Emergent
literacy
Evidencedbased Reading
Research
(EBBR)

Emergent Literacy
2. Children construct
their own concepts
about the functions and
structure of print and
then try these in play
and in everyday
situations.
Pretending to read a
book to a doll
Recognizing a brand of
milk at the grocery

Emergent Literacy
2. Children test their beliefs
about how written language
works and, based on how
others respond and the result
they get, modify these beliefs
and construct more
sophisticated systems of
reading and writing
e.g. Writing attempts
scribbles> letter-like form>
random streams of letters>
invented spelling

Emergent Literacy
4. With lots of
opportunities to engage
in meaningful literacy
activities, large
amounts of interaction
with adults and peers
and some incidental
instruction, children
become conventional
readers and writers

Emergent Literacy:
Research Base
Concepts of print
Environmental print
- Product labels
- Street signs
- names

Emergent Literacy:
Research Base
Developmental trends
Writing
- Drawing
- Scribble
- Letter like units
- Nonphonetic letter strings
- Copying from environmental
writing
- Invented spelling
- Conventional writing

Emergent Literacy:
Research Base
Developmental trends
Reading
In storybook reading,

- gradual shift from


reading pictures to aspects
of print
- gradual shift intonation

Emergent Literacy:
Research Base
Home environment

- access to print and


books
- adult demonstrations
of literacy behavior
- supportive adults
- storybook reading

Emergent Literacy
1. Children observe and
interact with adults
and other children as
they use literacyfocused routines
Writing shopping list
Story book reading

Literacy:

Shared writing or the


Language Experience
Approach (LEA): An Emergent
Literacy Strategy
Child dictates story about a
personal experience; teacher
writes it down.
Teacher reads the story back
to the child and then gives
him/her the opportunity to
read it.

Evidence-Based Reading
Research (EBRR)

Identified the core


knowledge and skills young
children must develop to
become successful readers.
Skills and concepts young
children need to master to
become proficient readers
Most effective strategies for
teaching this content

Evidence-Based Reading
Research (EBRR)
Skills and Concepts
Oral Language
expressive and receptive
language, vocabulary
development
Phonological awareness
awareness of the
constituent sounds of
words in learning to read
and spell

Evidence-Based Reading
Research (EBRR)

Skills and Concepts


Alphabet knowledge the ability to
name and write the letters of the
alphabet
Print awareness awareness about the
functions, structure, and conventions of
written language aka concepts about
print

Evidence-Based Reading

Phonemic awareness
instruction: An EBRR Strategy
Listening
Rhyming
Words and Sentences
Awareness of syllables
Sound matching
Initial and Final sounds
Blending
Segmentation
Phonemic manipulation

Evidence-Based Reading
Research (EBRR)

EBRR researchers also


recommend:
Engaging children in
extended discussions and
exposing them to rare
words
Print-rich classroom
environments
Interactive storybookreading techniques such
as dialogic reading
Literacy- enriched play
centers

need
to
be
interwoven in order
to
provide
young
children
with
balanced,
effective
early
literacy
instruction

Principles of Balanced
Early Literacy Instruction
1.

Early language and literacy education


should focus on core content the
knowledge, skills and dispositions that
are predictive of later success in learning
to read and write.
- oral language
- background knowledge
- phonological awareness
- alphabet knowledge
- concepts about print

Principles of Balanced
Early Literacy Instruction
2.

Oral language lays


the foundation for early
literacy development.
3. Storybook reading is the
cornerstone of early
literacy instruction.
4. A carefully planned
classroom environment
enables
literacy
development
to
flourish.

Principles of Balanced
Early Literacy Instruction
Children need opportunities to
engage in emergent forms
of reading and writing.
6. Developmentally appropriate
forms of direct instruction
should be used to teach
core literacy concepts and
skills.
7. Teachers need to help
parents
support
their
childrens language, reading
and writing development.

Principles of Balanced
Early Literacy Instruction
8.

Oral language and


early
literacy
instruction
and
assessment should be
guided by standards
that
define
the
knowledge and skills
young children need to
become successful.

Standards for Early Literacy

MEANS FOR INSPIRING MOTIVATION TO READ

The future of the nation is


on the shoulders of
teachers and how they
teach kids; the future of the
world is in the classroom
where the teachers are.
And if we have any chance
to guarantee a positive
bridge to the 21st century, it
is how we educate the
children in the classroom
today.
