Language and Emergent Literacy

Welcome to Early Literacy!


We are going to learn everything we need to know about young learners, the development of their skills, a preschool classroom environment, multiple intelligences, methodology, and all the important things you need to know in order to become a successful English teacher for the little ones.

To start with this blog, please Read Chapter 1 (pgs. 2-8), and then:

  1. Mention three facts about language, explain each one of them in your own words, and provide two examples on how each one of them applies to English.
  2. Mention at least five ways in which parents and family members can start developing "Emergent Literacy" at home.
  3. Mention at least five ways in which preschool teachers can continue developing "Emergent Literacy" once students arrive to their classroom.

Remember that opinions can not be exactly the same and you must answer all the questions completely, in order to get all the points.


Deadline: Tuesday, September 18th, at 11:59pm.
