REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. Literacy is a process that begins in infancy and continues throughout our lives. What role do parents and early caregivers play in guiding a child to literacy?
2. Some young children have rich literacy experiences while others have little exposure to books and other forms of print. How can teachers meet the diverse needs of young students in their classrooms?

HOW EFFECTIVE TEACHERS SUPPORT THE YOUNGEST CHILDREN’S LITERACY DEVELOPMENT?
Teachers…foster young children’s interest in literacy and teach
concepts about written language.understand that children move through the emergent,
beginning, and fluent stages of literacy development.match instructional activities to children’s stages of
reading and writing development.monitor children’s literacy development to ensure that
they’re moving through the three stages, and they intervene when children aren’t making expected progress.

ACTIVITY
Construct morning messages that you could use in the following settings… A kindergarten classroom An upper elementary classroom
How might you use your morning message to support your students’ interest in literacy? (e.g. concepts about print, concepts about words, concepts about the environment, vocabulary etc…)
Write your messages on chart paper & share with the class.

• Using the list provided in Fig. 15-8 (p. 224), select 5 books that each meet at least 3 of the guidelines.• Use books on display&/or in the curriculum lab
• Individually, select 1 picture book:• Create an outline for “Opening Moves” (pp. 226-227) that you could
use to begin an Interactive Read-Aloud activity.• Present your book introduction to a small group of peers.

Engaging Readers in Thinking & Talking About Texts – Creating a Literature Culture Through IRA & Shared
Talk About Texts• What to the titles of chapters 15 & 16 say about literacy?• Discuss Chapter 15:• Select & read 2 of the “Ways of Opening” [Figures 15-9 to 15-15]• Discuss what the teacher is doing in each of the 3 possible openings.
• Discuss Chapter 16:• What are the characteristics of “intentional conversation”?• How can teachers teach “technical vocabulary” or “academic language”
through IRA?• Why do you think there is so much emphasis placed on “teacher talk” in
literacy instruction?

How do effective teachers assist students in “cracking the alphabetic
code”?• Teachers…• teach students to “crack the code” through phonemic
awareness, phonics, and spelling instruction.• understand that phonemic awareness is the foundation
for phonics instruction.• teach high-utility phonics concepts, rules, phonograms,
and spelling patterns.• recognize that students’ spelling errors are a measure
of their understanding of phonics.

Instruction
• Explicit & Direct
• Design a mini-lesson to teach a specific strategy!
• Step 1: Provide objectives, establish expectations, and introduce the skill
• Step 2: Model the skill
• Step 3: Provide an opportunity for guided practice with feedback
• Step 4: Independent practice and application
