Emergent Literacy
Emergent Literacy is a review of the research, related activities, and learning strategies for building literacy in the young learner. Emergent Literacy is a multifaceted process. The ability to associate print with meaning begins early in a child's life and continues until the child reaches the stage of conventional reading and writing. Through the course text: Emergent Literacy in Kindergarten: A Review of the Research and Related Suggested Activities and Learning Strategies, students are given the opportunity to review research which addresses the Oral and the Written Register and Development of Reading Comprehension, Phonological Processing, and Writing.

The courses I teach will provide you with multiple ideas and resources to guide the students you teach to foster their desire to learn, and to provide them with the necessary tools so that they may develop to their full potential. As you know, all children are unique, with differing interests, learning styles, skills and abilities, therefore, we must meet their needs to challenge them to be critical thinkers. As you complete this class I am here to support you, guide you, and share my many years of experiences teaching children and adult learners! My favorite teaching quote: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” ~Ben Franklin
