From simple pictures to a word or a sentence, this activity can be tweaked to suit children of different reading readiness which closely links to the reading and viewing element in the literacy continuum process model. While children take away valuable lessons and life skills during the concept of play, they are provided with a platform for development of phonological awareness and phonics knowledge (Paris, 2005).]]> 2021-08-13 12:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1678114117 nemu0001 https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1678119848 2021-08-13 13:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1678119848 nemu0001 https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1678120622 What better way to end off a stressful day with a good laugh with the family at the dinner table! Suitable for ages 4 and above, ‘Try Not to Laugh’ challenge offers an opportunity to make another person laugh any way possible with the use of jokes, silly faces, and gestures. This activity supports the speaking and listening element in the literacy continuum process model where both the messenger and receiver are tasked to listen and speak when they are playing the role of a ‘jester’ in the challenge. Fellowes and Oakley (2014) describe how language development is first fostered through home experiences and interactions within the family. ]]> 2021-08-13 13:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1678120622 nemu0001 https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1680240367 2021-08-16 10:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1680240367 nemu0001 https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1680241433 While families and Early Childhood Educators may not be adequately equipped to diagnose or support a child’s development in communication skills, speech and language therapists can help to provide professional advice, resources and treatment pertaining to language and communication. These strategies highlighted closely relate to the speaking and listening element in the literacy continuum process model, whereby language itself has been said to be the core of communication between people (Fellowes & Oakley, 2014). ]]> 2021-08-16 10:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1680241433 nemu0001 https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1680257885 2021-08-16 10:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1680257885 nemu0001 https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1680274427 This resource offers a variety of literacy group activities for children ages 4 to 6, accompanied with instruction guides and downloadable content readily available in the links provided. In particular, the ‘Ice Cream Alphabet Match’ activity focuses on the reading and viewing aspect in the literacy continuum process model where the child can use visual cues to assist them in decoding words. Piasta and Wagner (2010) described how children’s prior knowledge and foundational understanding of visuals and prints go on to show success in their reading skills in years to come. ]]> 2021-08-16 11:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1680274427 nemu0001 https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1687627605 Resource #2 is my favourite resource of all!]]> 2021-08-20 07:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1687627605 nemu0001 https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1687663823 2021-08-20 08:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1687663823 nemu0001 https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1687667122 Embedding sight words learnt in school into the popular game of Bingo, this game can be enjoyed in the comforts of their own home. This resource provides an editable template where parents can re-create and at the same time input sight words or high frequency words their children are familiar with. ‘Sight Words Bingo’ encompasses both speaking and listening as well as the reading element in the literacy continuum process as this activity requires them to listen to the word before being able to identify the word on the game board. While play promotes a healthy and holistic development in a child, it also reinforces the concept of phonological awareness and a child’s prior knowledge of language in terms of text and prints (Stuart, 2005). ]]> 2021-08-20 08:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1687667122 nemu0001 https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1689291284 2021-08-22 05:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nemu0001/learningonthego/wish/1689291284
