This session will review the 3 components of emergent literacy with the goals of participants understanding a strong foundation in emergent literacy that builds later reading skills. The basics of early phonological awareness will be reviewed from the previous session. As a bridge from learning to practice, participants will share diagnostic assessments results used to plan phonological awareness lessons. Then participants will learn how to build these skills in multiple environments--home, preschool, and childcare centers through formal and informal instructional contexts. Participants will also learn to choose vocabulary from vocabulary rich read aloud texts to pre-teach prior to shared reading experiences.
Audience: Early learning Educators
