STRENGTHENING
LEARNING
CONDITION FOR
ANGELICA L. GEPES EARLY LITERACY
TEACHER III
“Literacy begins at birth
and never ends.”

It begins at birth and continues with


every book held, every page turned, and
every word read.
Literacy: what is it and why is it
important?
●Literacy is being able to read, write,
listen, speak and create texts in
ways that allow us to communicate well
with others.
●Literacy is the foundation for doing well
at school, socializing with others,
problem-solving, making decisions,
developing independence, managing
money and working.
Early literacy is what children
know about reading and writing
before they actually learn to read
and write. It is not teaching reading,
drilling or using flashcards.
Instead, it is laying the
foundation, so that your child has
the necessary skills when they are
developmentally ready to read.
Literacy development in
childhood
●Before children can learn to read and
write, they need to develop
the building blocks for literacy – the
ability to speak, listen, understand,
watch and draw.
For this to happen, children need
plenty of experience with:

●pictures and objects


●letters and words
●sounds
You can help with all these areas of
your child’s early literacy
development by:
●talking and communicating with your
child
●reading books together
●playing with rhyme and other sounds
with your child.
TALKING AND COMMUNICATING:
why it’s important for literacy
development and how to do it
Talking and communicating with your child
helps them learn to talk, listen and
understand words as they get older.
What you can do
1. Talk with your child – the more talk, the
better. You can talk about the everyday
things you’re doing and seeing together.
2. Talk about feelings and chat about
whether your child is happy or sad. Use
words to describe your child’s emotions.
What you can do

3. Emphasize sounds, words and facial


expressions when you talk, especially
when your child is very young. You
might find that your child will respond
by trying to imitate you working.
What you can do

4. Emphasize the different parts of


words or different letters to help
your child understand that words
can be broken down into
segments.
What you can do

5. Listen to your child. Follow your


child’s lead and talk about things
they want to talk about. If your child
asks a question, give them the
chance to come up with answers
before you step in.
What you can do

6. Repeat mispronounced words with


the correct pronunciation.

7. Sing with your child.


What you can do

8. Share stories with your child. You


could share funny or interesting
stories from your childhood or tell
your child about your family’s past.
READING: why it’s important for
literacy development and how to do
it
Reading with children from an early age
builds a solid foundation for
literacy. It also promotes bonding and is
good for your relationship with your
child.
Reading with children:

●shows them that books can


give both pleasure and
information
●helps them learn the sounds of
letters in spoken language
Reading with children:
●helps them understand that stories
come from words printed on the page
●helps them learn new words and
develop a larger vocabulary
●improves their thinking and problem-
solving skills
Reading with children:

●can get children thinking and talking


about new concepts, events or
interests
●helps them learn about their
community, society and world.
What you can do

●Choose lift-the flap books,


touch-and-feel books or books
with rhyming or repeating words
for younger children.
What you can do

●Encourage your child to hold


the book the right way up and
turn the pages in the right
direction.
What you can do

●Point out pictures and talk about


the pictures your child points to.
●Ask your child
open-ended questions about the
story.
What you can do
●Slide your finger underneath words
as you read, pointing out each
word. This shows your child that we
start on the left and move to the
right when reading English.
What you can do

●Make connections between the


book and your child’s life.
●Explain the meaning of new
words.

RHYMING: why it’s important for
literacy development and how to do
it
Rhyming is a great way to help your
child hear and identify different
sounds in words. This helps your child
learn that words are made up of smaller
speech sounds.
What you can do

●Play games that involve rhyming.


Rhyming games help children
appreciate beginning, middle and
ending sounds
What you can do

●Play games that involve the sound and


rhythm of words. You could try tongue
twisters.
●Read rhyming books.

“Reading should not be presented
to children as a chore or duty. It
should be offered to them as precious
gift.”
