EDF 3034 Literacy Resources by Charlotte Lourdes https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873 Made with a little mischief en-us 2018-08-25 14:30:53 UTC 2023-03-13 03:39:06 UTC hello@padlet.com PLAYDOUGH flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275351027 Using play dough helps to strengthen the muscles for Fine Motor Skills. Children from as young as 24 months can start playing with play dough (as long as they know that they cannot put it in their mouths or eat it). Play dough helps with sensory skills where children get to touch and feel, it is great for pre-writing skills where the children can use the play dough to make letters and numbers. Children can engage with imaginative play when they start making things with their play dough.
This resource offers sensory skills and this relates to Nurturing Early Learners (NEL), which is supported by Piaget's assimilation where we take in new information and incorporate it into our existing knowledge]]> 2018-08-26 04:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275351027 DRAWINGS flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275354512 Drawing is one of the modes of communication. It helps children express themselves when they are not able too. From drawing lines and scribbling to Pre-Schematic (no realism, mostly marks) to Schematic (more details), children go through stages in their drawings.
This resource offers how children communicate when they are not able to express themselves. This relates to the NEL framework learning goal 4 where children uses symbols to represent ideas, which is supported by Reggio Emilia where she believes that children learn through experiences of touch, observing. The aim of Reggio approach is to teach how to use symbolic language like painting in everyday life.
(The picture below is a drawing of a pie. This was how the child drew it after baking it in class with the teacher)]]> 2018-08-26 06:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275354512 Learning to Write flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275356632 When children begin writing, most of them will learn that there are differences with the language they speak and the language they write. Children begin to write through represented ideas in drawings.
Learning to write is often appointed as an arranged development from scribbles and mock writing to invented spelling that would map out sounds and written letters (Genishi & Dyson, 2009).
This resource offers the skills of learning how to write and this relates to cognitive and physical factors which is supported by Bromley, 2007 which is mentioned in Noella Mackenzie article, From drawing to writing: What happens when you shift teaching priorities in the first six months of school of the THE AUSTRALIAN JORNAL OF LANGUAGE AND LITERACY Vol. 34, No. 3, 2011, pp. 322 - 340

Pre-writing activities are lines and strokes that children need to know before they learn how to print out the letters of the alphabets, as each line are a development of a sequence.
This resource offers pre-writing skills and relates to NEL framework learning goal 4 which is supported by Piaget. It encourages the children to start writing from top to bottom.
It is a guide to help children follow lines and from basic shapes and lines they learn to form letters.

This activity guides the children to have good control of letter formation. The 3 lines guide (blue, red blue lines) the children with writing tall, short and hanging letters. It guides the children to start capital letters from the top blue line to the bottom blue line.]]> 2018-08-26 13:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275369547 Tracing in sand and foam flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275369879 Fine Motor Development is the ability to co-ordinate small muscles of the hand that would lead to the abilities of writing and holding a pencil.
Tracing letters, shapes, numbers or lines in sand and foam is a fun way for the children to have fun and to discover their abilities.]]> 2018-08-26 13:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275369879 Books with lines flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275371185 Books with lines can be a fun way for children to practice writing. Children can sing a song as they practice to write. The song goes like this "from the top blue line to the bottom blue line" (for tall letters), "from the red line to bottom blue line" (for short letters), "from the red line to past the bottom blue line" (for hanging letters).
This resource offers practicing of writing and relates to NEL framework learning goal 4 which is supported by Piaget. This helps the children read and write from left to right.]]> 2018-08-26 14:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275371185 Writing from experiences flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275859452 One way to encourage children to write is for them to relate to the books they have read and for them to experience what they see. For example, the picture below was drawn after the children's field trip to the zoo as part of the curriculum and theme "The Environment - The Fragile Forest". This child was able to draw what he saw at the Fragile Forest and he was able to write about it after drawing the picture.
This resource offers drawing and writing from experiences and relates to the NEL framework learning goal 4 which is supported by Founts and Pinnell (1996) ]]> 2018-08-28 13:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275859452 Assessing Writing flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275876876 Children start by first scribbling and producing letter-like forms to strings of letters or their names. Through writing, children are learning to use written symbols and how written language works. The picture below is an example of how children practice writing letters of the alphabet and how they can relate and draw a picture that begins with the letter and write a sentence about it.

]]> 2018-08-28 14:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275876876 Sandpaper letters flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275881022 Another way for children to feel and trace around letters is by using the letter sandpaper cards.
Some children need to touch and feel for them to grasp in the concepts being taught. This resource activity is good for children aged 4 to 5 as they are learning how letter formation are being formed.]]> 2018-08-28 14:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275881022 Formation of letters, numbers and shapes. flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275889754 A fun activity for children to learn without them realising that they are learning is using the Geoboard. Children are using the coloured rubber bands to stretch it and forming letters, numbers and shapes. In this resource activity, they are learning about Maths concepts too; colours, shapes.
This resource offers formation of letters, numbers & shapes and relates to NEL learning goal 4 whereby children form letters of the alphabets using materials such as the geo boards which is supported by Dyson's (1991) that suggest children faces many tensions between what they know and the ability to be creative.
]]> 2018-08-28 14:36:54 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275889754 Making Books flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275894684 Most children enjoy drawing and colouring. An activity to encourage children to write is asking them to make books. Some of the children are able to put a few sheets of paper together and staple them together. Children can draw and write their own story.
This resource offers creative expression and relates to the Language Experience Approach focus which is supported by Hardy (1968, cited in Spilka 1977) which suggest that we build reality in stories that we tell ourselves on how the world works. Stories that help children understand their emotions.]]> 2018-08-28 14:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275894684 Dot-a-dot flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275901598 Children can practice forming letters through art. It fun and it can get messy!! Using an activity sheet and dot-a-dots children will be able to follow the formation of letters]]> 2018-08-28 15:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275901598 Paint Bags flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275905091 This activity encourages the children to feel the paint without getting messy. Children can use their fingers or use a cotton bud to trace out letters and shapes.]]> 2018-08-28 15:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275905091 Copywriting flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275906187 Most children love to talk. They can imagine and tell us stories. Some find it difficult to pen it down. To encourage writing, we, teachers can ask them to tell us what they want to write on paper. We can write it out for them so that they can copy write what is written.
This resource offers copy writing and relates to NEL learning goal 4 where the teacher writes a copy of what the children verbalise to get ideas written and then to be proofread and later changed. This is supported by Dyson (1991)]]> 2018-08-28 15:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275906187 Alliteration flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275909757 After the concept of alliteration is being introduced in class, the teacher can encourage the children by drawing a picture to represent the words written.]]> 2018-08-28 15:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275909757 Blending flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275913749 When the concept of blends are being taught, an activity that the children can do is to draw a picture and write out a sentence to represent the picture]]> 2018-08-28 15:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275913749 Threading flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275915792 Threading beads / letters of the alphabet helps children to focus using their eye hand co-ordination as they use the beads to thread through it. It is a practice method of using the string / thread to go through the beads. It can be used as a Maths concert too as colours, shapes are introduced.
This resource offers NEL framework learning goals 4 and relates to focus which is supported by Vygotsky. The concept of ZPD refers to the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he or she can achieve with guidance and encouragement form a skilled partner.]]> 2018-08-28 15:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275915792 Pattern Blocks flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275919466 Pattern blocks is a fun activity that helps children create patterns, form shapes, letters. It is colourful and children get to use their imagination to create what they want. They can even write about what they built.]]> 2018-08-28 15:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275919466 Theme flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/275922042 Another activity for children to enjoy drawing and writing is for them to draw about what they learn for the Theme. The theme for this activity was about occupation. This child drew what he wanted to be when he grew and he was able to write a sentence about it.

This resource highlighted the connection and relationship of reading and writing. Morrow (2014) stated that the purposes for reading and writing are similar as the main focus is to construct meaning. According to Morrow (2014), Bromley stated that when reading, the children deal with meaning by responding to what has been read while writing, children deal with meaning by constructing text. Children engage in similar activities when they are reading and writing. In both reading and writing, children will;

· Generate ideas

· Organize ideas

· Monitor their thoughts

· Problem solve

· Revise how to think about ideas.

In addition, it also help children to gain the objective of show proper posture and hold marker with correct pencil grin.]]> 2018-08-29 20:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276403522 junrenni20 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276406641 2018-08-29 20:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276406641 junrenni20 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276406880 This resource is great for preschoolers as they are always fascinated with light box. Having light box in the centre for the writing development of the preschoolers is a great way to entice children participates in pre writing. Teachers can facilitated the children writing development by providing coloured translucent shapes, paints or cellophane papers. Putting these materials on the light box with draw young children attention as they get to see the colours thru the light box and in turn meddle with the materials which will help in their writing development as they work with their fine motor skills.]]> 2018-08-29 20:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276406880 junrenni20 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276408712 2018-08-29 21:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276408712 junrenni20 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276409251 This resource align with NEL learning objectives that is children will form letters of the alphabet using different media. This resource also reflected the objective of children will form letters of letters using different media.]]> 2018-08-29 21:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276409251 junrenni20 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276411195 2018-08-29 21:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276411195 junrenni20 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276412204 This resource is a must have in every n as mention by Morrow (2014) because preschoolers should be provided with environment for writing. Morrow (2014) also mentioned that this environment should be comfortable and ample writing supplies such as varieties of paper and pens, should be provided. In addition, teachers should include reading materials as well. This resource will develop children from begining to early emergent writing.]]> 2018-08-29 21:23:54 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276412204 junrenni20 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276453905 This resource is very apt for the children of current years. With IT savvy society, children will grasp the concept of pre writing easily as they gadgets such as IPad and tablet are of their interest. The focus of this resource is pre writing, whereby in NEL framework jnder the learning goal 4, children are making meaning which we can build on Rogoff’s Vygotskian conception to say that learning is
an effect of communities: we all belong to a number of communities, real-world and electronic, of varying degrees of networked intensity. For this app to work, a lot of people are involved in creating the app.
This is also one of the writing strategies that parents or educators can use for the children as it involves modelled writing whereby children observe the writing process. ]]> 2018-08-30 01:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276453905 Name texture art junrenni20 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276482883 This resource is definitely in line with NEL framework goal that is children will be able to recognise and write their own name. Name writing should fun and progressive. The first stage of name writing is it's recognition. Followed by name spelling, just like the attached resource ]]> 2018-08-30 05:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276482883 References flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276485027 2018-08-30 05:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276485027 Videos flipflops6770 https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276485154 2018-08-30 05:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/flipflops6770/15fupsutu873/wish/276485154
