“It has made us..begin to wonder whether the picture of language acquisition offered to date does not under represent the actual patterns of the linguistic knowledge of the young child..Carol Fleisher Feldman
An analysis by eight scholars of a two-year old child's pre-sleep monologues and conversations with her parents at bedtime, taped over a 15-month period.

Name of book/Author: “My Truck Is Stuck” By Kevin Lewis & Daniel Kirk Primary focus of book (check one or two)
Sound Play Book (rhyming, alliteration, etc) Alphabetic/Letter Book Concept Book (number, time, sequencing, size, colors, etc)
Pattern Book (repetitive patterns) Storybook (narrative story line
with beginning, middle, end) Non Fiction (informational)
Teacher Plan: Major Focus: Pattern of the story; repetitive lines Secondary Focus: Rhyming As you review this book in preparation for sharing it with children identify specific strategies you will use with the ideas below. Space is provided to make notes below each section.
1. Book Conventions/Concepts about Books (Author, Title, Illustrator, the direction the pages turn etc) 1) Identify title; top of cover
2) Identify authors @ bottom of book 3) Turn page to find next vehicle
2. Print Conventions/Concepts About Print (left to right, top to bottom, difference between print/pictures, letters/words, etc.)
1) Find print on pages 2) Differentiate between letters and numbers 3) ID different kinds of print & literary devices; signs, writing in sky, large print
3. Phonological awareness (blending, rhyme, alliteration, sequencing, segmenting etc.)
1) ID rhyming words @ beginning of story then have students begin to guess the rhyming words. 2) IDwords to segment: compound words, telephone booth, tow truck, moving van
4. Vocabulary Expansion (new words, synonyms, antonyms, etc)
1) ID all vehicles & use vehicles as a new category 2) Label the animal steeling the bones, ? prairie dog. 3) Label all the different kinds of dogs.
5. Comprehension (prediction, retelling, text to life/connection to real life, visualizing, etc.)
1) Text to life: talk about the vehicles and find out what kind of vehicle all the children come to school in.
2) After the children learn the repetitive pattern, pause to let them tell the story or parts of it. 6. Story Structure (main character, setting, initiating event, responses, etc.)
1) ID main character: dog driving stuck truck 2) ID setting: On a road 3) ID initiating event: truck gets stuck in a hole 4) ID problems and attempts at resolutions: different vehicles try but can’s get truck out. 5) ID solution: tow truck pulls dump truck out.
Examples of places to emphasize the pattern and rhyming portions: “Dump truck comin’ down the road. Dump truck haulin’ a great big load.” Load rhymes with road. Road, Load. “Dump truck comin’ down the road. Dump truck haulin’ a great big (pause and if children don’t respond give initial sound as a cue) …a great big l___.” Do same for roll and hole. Emphasize rhyming portions: “Rotten luck. Can’t go! My truck is stuck.”
“Help! Please help! Does anyone know how to make my stuck truck go?” Begin to pause and leave out the rhyming words at first like: “Rotten luck. Can’t go! My truck is st___” “Does anyone know how to make my stuck truck g__?” Then begin to pause for the whole word without a phonemic cue. “Rotten luck. Can’t go! My truck is ___.” Finally, slow down so the children can say the whole repetitive portion.
[email protected] WCGH Belfast, ME (207) 338-9349

• Maine character: Dog driving stuck truck.
• Setting: On a road.

Belfast Explicit Embedded Prompting StrategiesBEEPS© 2003
DEFINITIONS
• Numbers 1-9 listed below are ‘explicit’ strategies – those proven to be the most effective and powerful skills for children to acquire to become competent readers. These must be purposefully and repeatedly embedded in book sharing activities with children.
• Numbers 10 through 16 are those prompts effective in improving and enhancing child language development.
• Strategies 10-20 are used to provide cohesion, to help develop attention and language competence. In effective explicit embedded literacy activities, 60% of teacher responses/prompts would include a blend of strategies 1 through 8, based on the Book Share Lesson Plan. The target teacher-child response ratio is 60:40.
[email protected] WCGH Belfast, ME (207) 338-9349
1. Concept of Word: Explicit attempt to elicit from the child a comment about a word in the text that includes; drawing attention to a specific word, asking the child to predict what the word says, or to: “Find a word,” “Find the first word,” or “Find the first word.” This is a prompt that attends to a specific word in the text or an aspect of a word. “Show me just one word on this page.” “How many words are on this page?” “Where is the first word on this page?”
2. Print Conventions: Prompts involving reference to word print in the book. Includes specific attention to book conventions, author, book covers and terms such as “spine”. Involves pointing to the location of the text, asking children to anticipate where the next text will appear on the page, attention to literary devices, fonts or other print related strategies. “Where is the front of this book?” “Show me which way I need to read.” “What do you think the bird is saying up there?” (indicating a literary device such as a text bubble).
3. Alphabet Knowledge: Attention to information about the alphabet. “Where is the letter B on this page?” “Does anyone see any letters in their name?” “What two letters in this word are the same?”
4. Phonological Prompt: A prompt utilizing syllable structure, phoneme structure or phoneme prompt to elicit response from children. It might also include arm talking- tapping re-segmenting or some other method to indicate sound & syllable structure.
[email protected] WCGH Belfast, ME (207) 338-9349
5. Rhyming Prompt: The teacher calls attention to a rhyme, rhymes words, asks for exclusion (which word does not rhyme) or elicits some rhyming or word play from the children.
6. Text to Life: Teacher relates what is being talked about or read in the book to a real life experience that children have experience with.
7. Vocabulary Prompt: Particular attention directed to a ‘rare word’ in the text, using thesaurus like prompt to link unfamiliar words with familiar or introduction of new vocabulary words into narrative
8. Narrative/Structure: Teacher prompts and directives to attend the child to plot, character, problems or sequence in a narrative. Metacognitive approach to help children understand the story structure. The teacher would be explicitly using terms such as “character”, “problem” or “plot”.
9. Number Prompt: Same as word prompt with attention to a number.
[email protected] WCGH Belfast, ME (207) 338-9349
10. Picture Focus: Attention to the picture in the book based on color, emotion, description or action depicted in the pictures. Perhaps the most common reading approach with young children in addition to text presentation but limits contribution to emergent literacy learning.
11. Predictive Prompt: Prompt presented to have the children predict what will happen next
in a narrative story, to comment on cause and effect or make a similar anticipatory response.
12. Sentence Prompt: Prompt that elicits a response using a complete or partial sentence based on the text. It might involve backward chaining such as; Teacher Prompt: “The bears jumped out of bed”…Child Response… “And went out the window” or might utilize phrases, rhyming or sentence structure to elicit the sentence response.
13. Expansion Prompt: A response presented to elicit an expanded utterance. For example the teacher might say, “Look the bears jumped out the window”. She then would wait for a child response to elaborate on her utterance and might use a cue such as pointing to the picture, rising intonation or body posture (leaning expectantly toward children) to elicit a response.
14. Lead Follow/Recast: Teacher response that is ‘in tune’ with the response a child makes. This might involve a comment a teacher makes relating to what a child has just said or rephrasing a child’s comment to elicit more extended language from the child or to refocus attention on the topic.
[email protected] WCGH Belfast, ME (207) 338-9349
15. Model Prompt: A prompt in which the teacher models what the children are to do or say. This might involve first showing the children how to point to a picture or identify a text flow or how to produce a word/sentence structure.
16. Pause Cue: Teacher uses negotiated silence to prompt children to complete a response.
17. Question: Presented by the teacher to elicit information, to prompt involvement or as a pseudo question to keep responses going.
18. Instruction/Correction: Comments made to correct children, instruct them in the proper procedure or to provide teaching instruction about an activity.
19. Reattend/Redirect: Teacher comment that designed to correct inappropriate social behavior or reattend children who are off task.
20. Text Presentation: Reading of the text by the teacher.

• Excellent pace. Observe good variety of literacy prompts (3 different ones) and language prompts (4 different ones). Good response ratio of teacher child responses (70%-29%). Continue to look for ways to do more literacy prompts, especially phonological and rhyming. Move to change balance of literacy to language prompts to 60% Explicit Literacy-40% Explicit Language. Last year when we completed this observation (9.24.04), your ratio of teacher/child responses was about the same (75:25). Of your total prompts/responses (69) only a total of 8 or 11% were explicit literacy language prompts compared to a total of 41or 64% during this observation. The number of responses/prompts you are using is about the same, but the quality has really changed. A wonderful example of what is meant by Embedded-Explicit work. You and the children were fully focused and engaged. Julie, you have really taken this material and ‘made it your own.’ WOW! BOFFO! Mike & Jennifer
[email protected] WCGH Belfast, ME (207) 338-9349
Teacher 1 BEEPS FeedbackVery enthusiastically and nicely presented story. You certainly had the children’s attention. This was a good story telling activity but it did not utilize explicit literacy prompts. There were a number of times that the children could have made responses that might have been based on a phonological prompt with the repeated text of the ‘pumpkin being stuck on the vine.’ The total percent of explicit prompts (7%) were less than when observed on 9/24/03 (11%). Total number of literacy response should be at least 50% of the total number of teacher responses.
