Early Literacy Development

Early Literacy Development

Early literacy is critical for the development of early learners. Having the knowledge of letters, sounds, and how they work together, builds a foundation for reading and writing. It is important, as an educator, to provide early learners exposure to language, words, and books to support appropriate growth and development.
Based on the standards selected for the pre-assessments you created in Topic 1, identify 2-3 skills students would need to know. Create two developmentally appropriate and engaging activities that focus on the identified skill that could be implemented with a small group.
-Select a phonemic awareness or phonics literacy standard
-Create a learning objective aligned to the ELA standard to
highlight the phonemic awareness or phonics skill on which you
will focus
-List the materials you will use during your small group activity
-Describe the literacy activity and how it will be implemented
-Discuss how you will assess the effectiveness of the lesson
Write a 250-500 word rationale explaining why you chose these particular activities and how they can be modified to meet the needs of all learners.
Use 2-3 scholarly resources to support your choice of activities.
While APA style format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
