Early literacy plays an important role to perform better in school. As a teacher, it is our responsibility to help our children to develop effective literacy skills. In this session, we will explore effective ways to facilitate children who will learn to read and read to learn.
2. What is Literacy
• Literacy is the foundation for reading, writing,
communicating and socializing.
• Early literacy is learning about sounds, words and
language.
3. Stages of Reading Development
• The emergent pre-reader (6 months-6
years)
• The Novice reader(6 - 7 years old)
• The Decoding Reader (7-9 years old)
• The Fluent, comprehending reader (9-15
years old)
• The Expert Reader (16 years and older)
5. Phonemic Awareness
Phonemic awareness is
the ability to notice, think
about, and work with the
individual sounds in
spoken words.

6. Rhyme and Alliteration
• Thumbs up/down
• Poem, song, and nursery rhymes
• Movement Break (rat, hat, bat, cat, jam)
• I spy (point objects and ask rhyming word related to it)
• Curriculum-related rhyming words (log, fog, dog)
• Word of the day
• Silly Phrases practice (magical math, creative Caroline, super
science center)
9. Phoneme Blending and segmenting
• Finish my sentence e.g. I gave him my /p/ /e/ /n/.
• The suitcase game
• Head, shoulder, knees and toes
• Night Lights
• Phoneme Jumping
10. Phonemics Deleting & Manipulating
Manipulating(sounds/syllable)
• Deleting ‘m’ e.g. mice ice
• Adding ‘s’ e.g. top stop
• Substituting e.g. run bun
12. Phonics helps children learn the relationships between the letters of
written language and the sounds of spoken language.
Grades 1, 2
“The single best measure of children's ability to apply
knowledge of letter-sound correspondences in decoding
words is provided by measures of non-word reading
(Share & Stanovich, 1995. Reading Rockets).”
Phonics
23. 3. Fluency
Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately, quickly (automaticity), and
with expression (prosody). Fluency is important because it provides a
bridge between word recognition and comprehension.
Fluency is the bridge that connects word decoding and
comprehension.
Rasinski, 2004

34. 4. Vocabulary
Vocabulary plays an important part in learning to read. Beginning
readers must use the words they hear orally to make sense of the
words they see in print. Vocabulary development directly
affects reading comprehension.
Receptive
Expressive
1. The receptive vocabulary refers to how many concepts/words
a child understands.
2. The expressive vocabulary represents
those concepts/words that a child
can communicate.
41. 5. Comprehension
Comprehension is the reason for reading. If
readers can read the words but do not understand
or connect to what they are reading, they are not
really reading. Good readers are both purposeful
and active, and have the skills to absorb what they
read, analyze it, make sense of it, and make it their
own.
44. Your Expectations
• How to teach literacy to new leaners
• To know about strategies of reading for early years
• It may guide me to help my 2.5 yrs old son to become good reader
and learner
• Learning ways to develop Literacy in children of deprived homes and
uneducated parents
48. Blending and Diagraph
Blending
• A blend contains two consonants
but they each make their own
sound, such as /s/ and /l/, /sl/ (st,
fl, sk, gr, sw, ect.)
• Blends and ends e.g cl/ock, bl,ock
(Matching blends and endings)
Diagraph
• A digraph contains two consonants and
only makes one sound such as sh, /sh/.
(ch, wh, th, ck)
