I believe that teaching reading and writing begins with helping children want the life of a reader and writer. In order to accomplish this goal of developing lifelong readers and writers, I believe it is my responsibility to keep learning about proven research-based literacy programs. I believe that even in Tier I literacy instruction the teacher has the responsibility to differentiate instruction so that the vast array of learning styles and abilities present in the classroom will be nurtured. I believe that the most important part of literacy instruction, whether it be reading or writing, is communication. In reading, the communication is accomplished with strong comprehension skills that involve active participation of the reader as he interacts with the author to create meaning for himself.
What can parents and caregivers do to promote the development of remembering and problem-solving skills in young children? Give examples (3) of each type of activity. Caregivers can also support emotional understanding by labeling children’s feelings. Storybooks are effective inn helping to promote this type of development. Caregivers can introduce experiences requiring matching and sorting by size, shape, and color introducing words to describe color, size, shape and texture and math words such as bigger, smaller,
What are the documented outcomes for children that form part of the relevant early years framework and how are they assessed and recorded? The aim of the EYFS is to ensure that all children- notwithstanding their background, gain access to quality and consistent early year’s education. To make this possible, a series of documented outcomes is given for each of the seven areas of learning and development of the EYFS. These outcomes are called the Early Learning Goals. These goals are important as they form the building blocks for children’s later education and they make available the basis for planning and learning throughout the EYFS.
Assignment TDA 3.11 Supporting Literacy Development Assessor: Samantha Pearson Qualified – CACHE Level Three Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools The opportunity to apply for a specialist responsibility in supporting literacy development has arisen in your educational environment. For your interview you have been asked to prepare information to show that you can: Literacy means the ability to read and write. Only recently has the word ‘literacy’ been applied as the definitive term for reading and writing, mostly since the introduction of the National Literacy Strategy in schools. The skills of reading and writing complement each other and develop together, it therefore makes sense to use the term ‘literacy’. Reading and writing are forms of communication based on the spoken language.
Module 4FD028 - Introduction The aim of this module is to show an understanding of the key concepts and approaches in Early Years provision and practice. By reflecting on how these are applied in practice, evaluating the impact on children’s learning and development and the practitioner’s role. The notion of ‘quality’ and the impact of one key concept on the child’s development and providing quality provision and practice will be discussed. Namely Transition from an Early years setting into a school environment for the first time paying particular attention to the role of the adult and the impact on the child’s well-being. In the developing field of Early Years, it is becoming more and more important for practitioners to have an awareness of the many topics that impact on the provision available to young children.
Children are seen as emergent readers and writers, who bring to school with them a whole variety of skills and knowledge with which the teacher can work with. As language and literacy (or English) teachers, it is up to us to analyse and asses the needs of children according to; theories of development (Piaget, Vygotsky, Wilkinson, Luke & Freebody), developmental practices (socio-cultural), prior knowledge (grammar, punctuation, orthography, text-types), establish their skills base (reading [invented spelling], writing) to help determine what phase children are in according to their stage of development, what there ZPD’s are, and thus establish a teaching strategy to help scaffold their learning, giving them the skills to enter society as literate adults, as summed up by Gardner (Gardner & Brockman, 2000): ‘I want people at the end of their education to understand the world in ways that they couldn’t have understood it before their
This essay will firstly talk about early numeracy and pre-writing in early years.

Multicultural Theme Unit Tiffany Green ECE405 Instructor, Carlee 4/13/2011 In early childhood education it is so important to provide for individual differences adequate learning experiences for our young children especially when teaching a multicultural classroom. We must allow our children to group the concept that we are all different, we are all alike, and we are all capable of learning. Multicultural education means that early childhood education professionals include, accept, and respect each child as an individual. It means that we recognize what each child values and hold dear, and then build those things into the daily life of the early childhood program (York, 2006). The material that can be use for my preschooler, for multicultural education is music, number, nursery rhymes, online activities they all can be use for the preschool program.
The strands are: • To learn about themselves - Self Concept Development • To learn about their feelings - Emotional Development • To learn about other people - Social Development • To learn to communicate - Language Development • To learn to move and do - Physical Development • To learn to think - Cognitive Development The quality of early experiences is shaped by the individuals with whom infants and toddlers spend their time and by the environments where they spend their time. As early childhood professionals, we know what children need in order to be successful in both school and in life. This document designed for program trainers, directors and parent educators to use as they work with caregivers and parents to insure quality care for infants and toddlers. Infants and toddlers are cared for in a variety of settings. These settings include the child’s own home, child care centers and family child care.
