10. What Can Teachers Do to Support Early Literacy
National Early Literacy Panel (2009) suggests the following:
• Provide activities that allow for learning of letters names
and sounds.
• Create opportunities for students to experiments with the
sounds of the languages.

11. What Can Teachers Do to Support Early Literacy
(cont.)
• Give activities that will make them remember specific
words.
• Expose children to several instances that can make them
practice talking.
• Maximize opportunities to teach and discuss new words.
• Engage them in situations that will make them understand
the role and value of print.

12. Agree or Disagree?
Why?

the day they are born.

13. Agree or Disagree?
Why?
 As they grow and develop, so do
their speech and language skills.

14. Agree or Disagree?
Why?
 They learn to understand and use
language to express their thoughts,
ideas, and feelings to communicate
with others.

15.  Children who enter school with
weaker verbal abilities are much more
