Guidance from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction:
• deliver content-rich curriculum with challenging but achievable goals in ways that honor and respect the unique learning needs of young children
• Use a play-based curriculum to develop self regulation, language, cognition, and social competence
• Core or universal curriculum should include support for all developmental domains and content areas as described in the WMELS
The Wisconsin Model for Response to Intervention: Applications in Early Childhood Settings. WI Dept. of Public instruction, June 2012
![Page 8: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813d08550346895da6b1fc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Dual Language Learners (DLLs)“Children, birth to 5, who are learning 2 or more
languages at the same time, as well as those learning a second language (English) while continuing to develop
their home or first language.” Reinl, R. Language in Play: Introduction to the Early English Language Development (E-ELD) Standards, Webinar 2013 www.wida.us/EarlyYears
• Universal practices, the foundation for meeting the needs of all children, includes differentiated instruction
• Adaptations and modifications to meet the needs of individual children essential – it’s Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP)!

Intentional teaching - using shared (dialogic) reading, shared writing, and multiple opportunities to interact with writing, letters, sounds, and spoken words - is necessary.
Children might also need some explicit developmentally appropriate instruction to learn vocabulary, phonological awareness, the alphabet, and print concepts.
Exposure to print, books, and read alouds are important, but not enough to prepare children to become readers and writers.

Activities that teach phonological
awareness, alphabetic knowledge, and concepts about print
should be entwined like strands of
a rope with comprehension and communication being your GOAL!
![Page 17: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813d08550346895da6b1fc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
General assessment guidance
• Teacher-made checklists based on learning targets
• Anecdotal notes• Photos/ Audio recordings• PALS-PreK• Child writing samples with observational notes
(reflects child’s developmental levels of concepts of print, phonological awareness and alphabetic knowledge)
![Page 18: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813d08550346895da6b1fc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• PALS PreK: developmentally appropriate for 4 year olds ‐ ‐• Measures preschoolers’ developing knowledge of
important literacy fundamentals:– name writing ability– upper-case and lower-case alphabet recognition– letter sound and beginning sound production– print and word awareness– rhyme awareness and nursery rhyme awareness
• Provides guidance to teachers for tailoring instruction to children’s specific needs
• Reflects skills that are predictive of future reading success

Phonological Awareness
• Hearing and understanding the different sounds of a spoken language
• Ability to hear, identify and manipulate individual sounds in words (phonemic awareness)
![Page 20: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813d08550346895da6b1fc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Phonological Awareness Continuum of Development
Develops along a continuum of complexity
• Babies enjoy listening to adult speech• Begin to imitate speech sounds• Repeat words• Toddlers join in to sing songs, rhymes, “fingerplays”
led by an adult

Phonological Awareness Continuum of Development
• Preschoolers begin to recognize spoken words that rhyme
• Recognize sounds that match and words that begin with the same sound (alliteration)
• Begin to generate words that rhyme

Phonological Awareness Continuum of Development
• Begins to identify syllables in words (i.e. – claps 2x for “Bob-by”)
• Can tell the number of syllables heard in a word/name
• Identifies the “rime” in a set of words (i.e. – dad, sad, mad, bad all have /ad/ )
• Begins to recognize blends (/st/, /sn/ ) and diagraphs (/th/, /ch/)

Phonological Awareness: Phonemic Awareness
PA Task Example
Compare or match sounds in words Which word does not begin with /h/?hat, hair, wind, house
Isolate and pronounce separate speech sounds
Say the last sound in rich.
Put words together from their separate sounds (blending)
/sh/ /ou/ /t/ - Say it fast. (shout)
Break words apart into their component phonemes (segmentation)
Say the sounds in crash.(/k/, /r/, /a/, /sh/)
Add, change, or delete phonemes from words (phoneme manipulation)
Say heart. Change /t/ to /d/. What’s the new word? (hard)

Phonological Awareness Supports
• Oral language activities are foundational -> songs & fingerplays -> nursery rhymes -> storytelling -> listening activities/games -> listening centers -> rhythm activities, clapping• Rhyming words picture matching games

National guidance
Assessment and instructional activities should occur within a child’s
developmental level along the developmental continuum of
Phonological Awareness

Informal assessment example
Rhyming Words Scenario• Day 1 - teach rhyming words through
read aloud activity using dialogic reading strategies
• Day 2 – during choice time - small group activity lead by teacher: rhyming match bingo game (can use for targeted group and for all children in mixed groups)
• Assessment: observational data and rating scale with rubric
![Page 28: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813d08550346895da6b1fc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Informal assessment example
Rhyming WordsTarget: With a verbal prompt, “find the picture that rhymes with ____”, the child will identify the rhyming word on a game card with 100% accuracy.
Rating Scale: 0-does not; 1- with assistance; 2- more than 50%; 3-100%

Alphabet Knowledge
• Names of letters and their sounds• Includes “alphabetic principle” –
=> letters have specific sounds => a letter is a symbol
=> symbols grouped together form words
=> strings of words form sentences with with communicative intent

Alphabet Knowledge
• MORE than reciting or singing the ABCs• Predictive of later success in learning to read• Requires visual discrimination and memory• Letters in own name most relevant

Alphabet Knowledge Continuum
• Explores, repeats, imitates alphabet related songs and games
• Recognizes the difference between letters and other symbols
• Recognizes letters and their sounds in familiar words, especially in own name

Alphabet Knowledge Continuum
• Makes some letter/sound connections and identifies some beginning sounds
• Uses a combination of letter sounds, familiar environmental print, and picture cues to recognize a printed word
• Recognizes that most speech sounds are represented by single letter symbols

Alphabet Knowledge Continuum
• Begins to sound out words (decoding)• Recognizes and names all letters of the
alphabet• Reads familiar “decodable” words and some
irregular words

“Own Name Advantage”Evidence suggests
connecting names and sounds of alphabet letters to
children’s names is an effective way to introduce
the alphabet.
Displaying children’s photos, their names in print, and photos of their families, adds to literacy as well as
creating a warm, welcoming environment.
![Page 35: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813d08550346895da6b1fc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Alphabet Knowledge Supports
Exposure to Print Rich Environments• Labels• Name labels• Labels with pictures• Environmental print• Word walls • ABC books, puzzles, magnetic letters

Research suggests …
• No research support for “letter of the day/week” approach
• No best order to introduce letters• Evidence supports “own name advantage”

Teaching Letters
• Learn to see unique features of each letter (lines, curves, circles)
• Short but intentional mini-lessons throughout the day
• Shared writing, daily message – functional opportunities to teach letters

Concepts about Print
• Understanding of how print works; its functions
• Spoken words can be written on paper• Carries a message to the reader• Pictures and words are different things, but
both convey messages• Letters form words, words form sentences
![Page 40: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813d08550346895da6b1fc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Concepts about Print
• Books hold meaning • Cover/front and back• Left-right / Top-down • Begin in the front on the left page • Punctuation adds meaning • Spaces between words are important
![Page 41: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813d08550346895da6b1fc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
New Awareness Emerges!

Concepts about Print Developmental Continuum
• Enjoys books, begins to point to & name pictures• Understands that print has a message• Views book front to back• Knows a book has a title, author, and illustrator• Recognizes some environmental print• Understands top-bottom/left-to-right format• Understands letters, words, sentences are different• Knows books have characters, plots, sequences of
eventsSource: Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards, 4th Ed., WI Dept. of Public Instruction, Madison, WI, 2013 http://www.collaboratingpartners.com/wmels-about.php

“Print referencing”
To increase a child’s attention to print
• ask questions about the print seen on a page• make a comment about the print seen on the page • track under the print with your finger or a pointer as you
read the words aloud
Evidence suggests using these strategies can have a big impact on early literacy development
