It lists different teaching strategies such as Storybook Reading and emergent reading and writing. The article also puts an emphasis on what students "should" be doing and "should" be learning by the time they reach the kindergarten age. Then, the article moves into written expression

Dr. Morrow brings up different reading strategies that both parents and teachers should use in order to promote early childhood literacy development. She says that the reader should start with a picture walk to gain the students' interests and see what the story will be about. The children should also be given the opportunity to use oral language to interpret the story, whether it be through acting out or retelling. Teachers or parents need to model different real life scenarios for children so that they can start to build their own language and develop socially. She discusses the importance of using the preschool standards that New Jersey has in order to put an emphasis on instruction in early childhood. Dr. Morrow believes that early literacy is the most important aspect in literacy development. ]]> 2016-12-03 14:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141548999 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141549505 Early childhood literacy development is not just about reading. Literacy includes reading and how children decode words, language and how they can talk about or retell a story, and movement and how they write words or act out a story. Literacy encompasses how a student understands and interprets what they are reading, or what is being read to them. It helps them to build their vocabulary and learn new things about the world. Literacy is important for students who do not know how to read or write as well, because it gives the opportunity to hear a story and gain important oral language and social skills. ]]> 2016-12-03 15:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141549505 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141549729 This article discusses the importance of a student's ability to "hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds." It then gives different phonemic strategies and instructional techniques for teachers to use to help there students. The page also provides different literacy statistics and grade leveled literacy activities and assignments. Marie Clay, a theorist who studies phonemic awareness, designed the Reading Recovery Lesson and how phonemic and phonological awareness are two elements that build a student's ability to read. ]]> 2016-12-03 15:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141549729 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141550692 This video discusses how students should have a foundation of phonemic awareness before the letters are introduced to them. It talks about a kinesthetic approach, and how the mouth moves when they make the different letter sounds. The students can feel the movements of their lips and the vibrations of their throats to see how each sound is made differently. The video then goes on to discuss compound words and different kinesthetic ways to glue separated words back to together. It also brings up single syllable and multi-syllable words and how students can phonemically break them down. Word families and rhyming are then brought up, to show students how words can sound the same, but with a different beginning sound. ]]> 2016-12-03 15:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141550692 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141551310 This picture depicts a chart of the different steps that teachers can use to build on a student's phonemic awareness. It starts with the kinesthetic awareness of sounds, and ends with the rhyming, as shown in the video in Artifact 2. This chart is a more organized and spread out depiction of the video in Artifact 2. It shows the individual steps of how to gradually increase phonemic awareness in a classroom. ]]> 2016-12-03 15:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141551310 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141551545 This article defines phonics as "the connection between graphemes (letter symbols) and sounds." The article focuses on phonics and teaching children how to read. This is different than phonemic awareness because it is more about reading the words on the page by correlating the sound to the letter. Phonics is very important for students learning to read because they need to be able to identify the different word sounds before they can match them to their corresponding letter or letters. The article discusses the importance of the alphabet because before the alphabet is even used, students are solely relying on sounds. The introduction of the alphabet allows students to make the connection between the sound and the symbol. Jeanne Chall, who was a theorist that studied phonics, believed that phonics were "superior to whole word instruction."

There is a book that the teacher will read/sing to the students before hand, relating the different letter sounds to the letters and a word that starts with that letter. The teacher will have to model the song and dance multiple times in order to teach it to the students. This video shows the students performing the song and dance with the teachers in the background. After the students learn the song, this is a very helpful tool because it is a fun kinesthetic way that teaches them the letters. It also allows them use their verbal language because it is both a dance and the song. Relating phonics to a song and dance will help students be able to memorize the different letter sounds, letters, words that go with the letters, and compound sounds such as digraphs and blends. ]]> 2016-12-03 16:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141552568 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141552873 A sound chart is a simple poster that can be hung in a classroom in order to help students with their phonics. Since they will already know the sounds, this chart has both a picture and the letter. This will support students when they need to make the connection between sound and symbol. It also has sound blends for sounds such as "th" and "ch." It goes further than just the individual letters so that students can see what other sounds look like as well.]]> 2016-12-03 16:15:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141552873 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553362 "Literacy is defined as the ability to read to speed, accuracy, and proper expression." This article shows examples of what fluency problems look like, and then it provides ways for both teachers and parents to help. E. H. Hiebert's, a theorist who studied fluency, research "addresses how fluency, vocabulary, and knowledge can be fostered through appropriate texts."

It talks about the fluidity and automaticity that students should have when they read. Word recognition should come naturally to students and it is important for teachers to work on that skill. ]]> 2016-12-03 16:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553420 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553486 This is a poster of a checklist for fluency that students can reference while they read. Students should read accurately, with appropriate speed and expression, while following the rules of punctuation. This reminds students of what they should be doing while reading. ]]> 2016-12-03 16:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553486 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553592 Reading Aloud involves teachers reading aloud to students, students reading aloud to each other, and students reading aloud to themselves. Reading aloud helps students to make connections and it models fluency. ]]> 2016-12-03 16:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553592 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553671 Guided Reading is usually used in Reader'a workshop. Fountas and Pinnell have a leveled reading system that classifies books by letters. The letters all correlate to a certain level of reading. Teachers choose specific leveled books and they work with the students in a small groups. The teachers then ask guiding questions to help the students comprehend the story that they are reading. ]]> 2016-12-03 16:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553671 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553729 Shared Reading is when a teacher reads a book, usually a Big Book, to the the students. Sometimes the teacher does the reading and sometimes the students can read along with the teacher. Shared reading is an interactive experience for the students where the teacher can model how the book should be read. ]]> 2016-12-03 16:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553729 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553814 This article discusses how vocabulary development can occur during read alouds. Reading aloud to students helps to build their vocabulary because they are exposed to all of the descriptive language and new words that they do not know. It also talks about "incidental learning" which is when students learn new words without being explicitly taught what they mean. ]]> 2016-12-03 16:32:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553814 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553843 This article talks about how people are never done learning vocabulary. People learn new words all the time so vocabulary development occurs throughout your entire life. It discusses different methods and strategies for teaching vocabulary to both English speaking students and ELL students. ]]> 2016-12-03 16:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553843 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553976 This is a poster that shows the different types of vocabulary words. Tier 1 vocabulary are everyday words that students use. Tier 2 vocabulary words are the more advanced synonyms of the everyday words. Tier 3 vocabulary words are words that specifically relate to a certain story or topic or unit. These words are necessary for the student to know so that they can comprehend what is being taught. ]]> 2016-12-03 16:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141553976 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141554029 The article talks about 7 different comprehension strategies that can be used in a classroom. It discusses metacognition which is thinking about your thinking, teaching students to self monitor, using graphic organizers, asking and answering their own questions, summarizing, and recognizing story structure. M. Pressley, who studies comprehension strategies,  "pointed out that comprehension instruction involves a complex and long-term commitment to teach students the necessary strategies and to provide them with sufficient practice to use the strategies easily and the habits to use them frequently."

He believes that timing, texts, teaching, talking, tasks, and testing are what help students to master reader's workshop. Reader's workshop involves a mini lesson is which a small group of students work with the teacher to read a short leveled book. Then, the students rotate through centers that involve individual reading activities to help students comprehend what they are reading. ]]> 2016-12-05 21:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141892036 jessp96 https://padlet.com/jessp96/langandlit/wish/141892457 This articles talks more about centers, or stations, and how students move from area to area in order to complete different tasks.
