LITERACY and LANGUAGE

Young children need writing to help them learn about reading, they need reading to help them

learn about writing; and they need oral language to help them learn

about both.

Page 4: LITERACY:  L anguage, Reading, and Writing

Language Language is the basis for understanding and communicating. It is developed through:

Talking, listening, reading, singing, writing, playing

Page 5: LITERACY:  L anguage, Reading, and Writing

Stages of LanguageMirroring Imitating the child’s sounds and gestures

“Ba Ba Ba” “Ba Ba Ba”

Self-Talk Talk to yourself in front of the child and describe what you are doing, thinking, and feeling. Give a “travel log”.“The fish are hungry. Time to feed the fish. Come and eat fish.”

Turn-talking Establishing a conversation pattern by listening and responding.“blah blah blah” “Wow, What happened next?”

What do you need?

Let the child ask for things, needs, and objects.“Horsie, Horsie” You want the horse. I will get it for you.”

Tell Me more Repeat the child’s message in a more complex manner by adding words and phrases.

“Cow eat” “Yes, the cow is eating the hay.”

Parallel Talk Saying what you see, feel, think much like a sports announcer.“You are feeding one baby and putting the other baby to bed.”

Reflecting Repeat what the child is saying using correct pronunciation and grammar so that the child hears correct speech.

“Tat tar and Goggy.” “Yes, that is a car and a doggy.”

PROMOTE LITERACY Fill their environment with words and letters:

– Place word labels on items throughout the room.– Dramatic play area always includes literacy items.

• All areas should include literacy opportunities especially the nutrition and food experience.

– Sensory letter activities to “experience” the letter.• Magnets letters, salt letters, puzzles, …

– Daily songs, books, and games– Ask if they hear the first letter sounds.

• When sitting at lunch, you can say the names of foods and their beginning sounds and ask if they can hear what the sound is.

– Encourage familiar Word, sound, and letter recognition within words and signs that the child sees.

• “This word starts with the same letter and sound as your name!”

Page 13: LITERACY:  L anguage, Reading, and Writing

Children learn the Sound of letters first and then the letter.

Mimi Mouse’s Song(tune: This Old Man)

Mimi Mouse, Mimi Mouse

Minds her manners in the house.

When she sips her milk

She never makes a mess.

Mud pies never mess her dress.

PRE-WRITING Activities

1. Two skills are needed before a child can successfully write letters:

Page 17: LITERACY:  L anguage, Reading, and Writing

a. Small Muscle Coordination Skill needed to hold a pencil and to

make basic strokes. Provide activities where the child is

using their fingers to help develop the small muscles.

• Like What?• Puzzles, building blocks, play dough, clay,

rubber stamps, magnet letters, small cars and trucks, crayons, etc.

Page 18: LITERACY:  L anguage, Reading, and Writing

b. EYE-HAND Coordination This allows the child’s hand to

react to what the eye sees.• Like what?• Drawing, tracing, cutting, painting,

pasting, finger paints, typing (key boards) lacing cards, stringing items, etc.

Page 19: LITERACY:  L anguage, Reading, and Writing

2. PRE-WRITING As a child begins to represent

different pictorial ideas using straight lines and circle drawings, they are beginning to write.

Page 20: LITERACY:  L anguage, Reading, and Writing

Make writing & letters FUN!

At first, the majority of preschool children lack the skills for traditional

writing. Provide a variety of early literacy

ABC activities without holding a pencil.

Page 21: LITERACY:  L anguage, Reading, and Writing

Handwriting

Page 22: LITERACY:  L anguage, Reading, and Writing

Child’s Name 1st ask the child if they want to have you

write their name on their paper.– Maybe they want to write it.– Maybe they don’t want their name written on the

paper.

a. Take the time and effort to learn how to

spell the child’s name correctly!

Page 23: LITERACY:  L anguage, Reading, and Writing

b. Teach the child to write in lower case letters.

–Only the first letter in their first and last name has a capital letter.

Page 24: LITERACY:  L anguage, Reading, and Writing

REVERSALS:

c. Young children will often reverse letters or write parts of the letter backwards.

– ball = dall The order of letters in a word may

be reversed.–Tom = mot = o m t

Both are normal and should not be a concern, yet.
