Emergent literacy is learning the function and process of reading along as well as including knowledge and awareness of the alphabetic and phonemic awareness. Emergent literacy was introduced by Marie Clay. She used it to describe the earliest behavior and concepts of young children displaying in interacting with books even before they are capable of reading on their own.

As technology has revolutionized society in the 20th and 21st century, it naturally has found its way into schools, education and learning. The way that technology is integrated with classrooms and into lesson planning needs to be reflected upon so that students learning can benefit most from the new technological tools that are available now and continuing to evolve in these new times.

# data[].attributes.body
When technology is incorporated in a classroom, students become more engaged. When technology is used, it makes the lesson more fun for students because it gives them a sense of control of their own learning. Technology in a classroom and consist of a smart board, computers, or ipads. A simple way to start integrating technology in the classroom is by simply displaying a video. Children love watching videos. It catches their a attention and is an easier way for them to focus on what they will be learning.

Writing workshop begins as early as in kindergarten. Writing workshop is interdisciplinary writing technique that builds students fluency in writing with consistent exposure to the process of writing. The writing workshop consist of five parts.
1) Introduction: this is the part where the teacher introduces the class and what they will be doing.
2) Mini lesson:  it is the specific topic, skill or main idea of what they will be focusing on.  It is used to help student figure out what to focus on.
3) Independent writing: This is the part where the students begin writing after they are given their assignment.
4) Status of class: This is the part where the teachers figures out what each student is working on and how far they've gotten in their writing.
5) Wrap up and sharing: the students read what they have wrote and share it with the rest of the class.This is the part where the students receive feedback on their writing.

Talking partners is a great strategy for readers workshop. Talking partners is when two students are paired together and sit next to each other and either read next to one another or read to each other. It is a great way for students to work together and increase their reading as well as their comprehension skills. During talking partner time, students can use comprehension strategies on each other to promote comprehension.

Generating questions is a good way to keep students active and involved. Asking questions throughout the reading is a good way of gaining comprehension not only for the students, but for the teacher. It gives the teacher a glimpse of the child's ability to comprehend what he or she may be reading. Ask questions throughout every other page with a consistent amount. Not to the point where you are asking a question on every single page.

Using graphic organizers and semantic maps are a good way analyze comprehension. It is considered to be one of the most used and effective strategy. Many teachers use the graphs and maps to their advantage. It makes the lesson fun and easy not only for the students, but as well as for the teachers. It also helps readers focus on main points and concept of the reading.

Metacognition is thinking about thinking. It is a strategy use to gain control of their own reading. The child may ask question to their self before reading a book. They can ask questions about what they think the book is going to be about, skim through the book as well as make predictions of what they think is going to happen in the book.

Independent reading is when a child picks up a reading material such as a book, magazines or newspapers and reads them on their own. Teachers should be able to promote independent reading as much as possible. Having a library in the classroom is a good way to promote independent reading. The child can go on their own and pick a book of their choice.

Children love to share just about everything. Share reading is a way for students to share their thoughts, but in this case it happens while reading. Share reading is an interactive experience that occur when students join in and share the reading of book supported by the teacher. There are benefits to shared reading.
1) Helps struggling reading with gaining necessary support.
2) Shared reading can build sight words and knowledge and reading fluency.

Shared reading is a good strategy to help with fluency. It exposes students to material that they may be familiar with. Shared reading is similar to one of Jeanne Chall stages of reading. According to Jeanne Chall stage 2 of stages of reading, this is the stage used to increase fluency. It is also the stage that is considered to be more of a confirmation of what they already learned. It is very beneficial for the student and is used for various reasons.
1) Provides struggling readers with support.
2) Build sight word knowledge and reading fluency.
3) Students get the opportunity to enjoy readings that they made not be able to read on their own.

What Is Emergent Literacy?

Have you ever wondered about the stage before children learn to read and write? Anyone who spends time with young children knows that they love to play with language: they talk, sing, chant, and even explore books and writing. This is because young children are in a stage called emergent literacy. During emergent literacy, children cannot read or write independently in the conventional sense, but they are moving along a constant continuum toward literacy. As they explore language, investigate books and try their hand at drawing and writing, you can help them develop by providing them with opportunities to test out their new skills and interests.

Oral Language Activities

One of the best ways to promote emergent literacy is to give them activities that support oral language development. In this case, oral language refers to speaking and listening. Children who learn to express themselves clearly via the spoken word will eventually be able to express themselves clearly and sequentially in writing. Similarly, children who feel confident that they can understand another person's speech will feel better equipped to comprehend the things they eventually read. If you are looking to promote children's oral language, there are a variety of activities that you can use:

Give them a lot of chances for pretend play. When children pretend, they are using words to express themselves. They are learning to tell stories and communicate thoughts and feelings. What's more, pretending often follows children's own passions so they will automatically have a higher level of interest in the language they are using.

You can also let them tell stories and act them out. Practicing telling stories is a great way to learn about sequencing and narrative structure. If one child in a group tells a story and others act it out, everyone is practicing their oral language on some level.

Another activity is to sing songs and do tongue twisters. Believe it or not, simply singing with young children and having them do tongue twisters will promote their emergent literacy. Songs will teach children about rhymes and rhythms. Tongue twisters will promote their phonological awareness or their understanding about how sounds work within a word. What's more, these activities are fun for young children and enhance their sense of being part of a community where language and literacy are important.

Reading Activities

Another big part of promoting emergent literacy is giving students a chance to explore reading. One activity that will help promote reading among young children is to read-aloud. The more you can read aloud to young children, the better! Reading aloud build students' prior knowledge and enhance their reading comprehension. They also introduce students to the pure pleasure they can get from a good book.

Playing consonant-vowel-consonant games is another fun activity to try. Often, the first words that students learn to read will follow a simple consonant-vowel-consonant pattern. These are words like cat, pen, and hot. When you feel children are ready, you can write the vowels on dice and give students consonant cards. Children can roll the dice to get a particular vowel, and then figure out how to sound out words they can make out of the possible consonants.

The ability to hear, identify and manipulate the sounds in spoken language. It is also defined as the awareness of sounds that make up spoken words. According to Yopp there are different ways to present phonemic awareness such as onset rime, syllable and phoneme units.

Phonemic awareness is very important when it comes to literacy. Having the child become aware of the different sounds of language only helps them improve in their readings.  There are certain activities that a teacher can use as an approach in increase phonemic awareness.
1) Rhyming- identifying words that sounds the same
2) Alliteration- being able to recognize words that start with the same sound.
3) Sound matching- Matching words that begin with a specific sound

Reading to the class aloud is a great way to expose the students to literacy. Reading to the students once or twice a day is a good way of exposing them  to reading. The reading can be done in the morning, afternoon or right before the day ends. Storybook reading to the students is a good way to teach students about the different types of stories. The children can listen to different poems, fictional stories and informational books. It is always important to remember to pick books that the students are going to enjoy. Picking a book that the students make enjoy gives it a greater chance of the student picking up the book on their own.http://www.naeyc.org/files/yc/file/200303/Essentials.pdf

Generate rich conversations with the students in different ways such as putting them into large groups, small groups and one on one with another student. When working with the students to make rich conversations,  there are two techniques to keep in mind.

1.   Make sure to use rare words. Using rare words will expose the student to new and unfamiliar words that they can use on their own.

2. Extend children's comments. It would lead the students into make more descriptives and statements.
