The authors then discuss how storybook reading can be used by teachers to facilitate learning in early students.
Storybook Preview is used to introduce a new book or a follow-up activity, and consists of teacher interaction with a small group of students. This assists teachers in interacting effectively with students, responding to and expanding on each child's language. Storybook Read Aloud is also explained, which can be used in a large group of children, where the teacher reads the book aloud in a manner that captures the children's attention. Storybook celebration is where teachers have the children respond to the book through an activity such as making a craft or drawing pictures. Storybook Sounds focuses on the development of phonological awareness as it relates to specific storybooks. For example, in this stage, children could listen for specific beginning sounds, and then point to pictures in the book of items that begin with that sound. Storybook Letters and Words includes activities that focus on pre-reading skills, such as building basic words such as "hop," "mop," and so on.
Finally, the authors conclude by summarizing their main point in the article: that storybook reading can be used by teachers as a tool to assist in reading, letter and word recognition, and vocabulary development. All of these skills will assist the child in being able to read and understand what is read, in a manner that is fun and interesting for them. The end purpose of this task is to improve literacy skills, at an early age, where such skills can be either mastered lost. I believe that the authors subject material was presented accurately and interestingly, and research did exist to support their points, with the exception of their theory that storybook reading facilitates phonological...
However, according to Johnson, Christie, and Yawkey, (1999), "play is an extremely difficult concept to define -- there are 116 distinct definitions listed in the Oxford English Dictionary!" Some adults think play is trivial while others believe play makes vital contributions to all aspects of child development. While we cannot define play, there are telltale signs of play that are recognizable. Some examples of play involved students freely choosing to
Using tools like SHELL, the predictive nature of emergent literacy skills can help teacher's better understand new techniques and performance standards at the elementary level (Snow). Finally, all the articles under review seem to stress that formative assessments are vital and should be regular. This does not need to become complicated, but instead, should just be a regular part of the day's activities. With this, the authors all seem
Piaget suggested that one way to reconcile these two approaches would be to adopt a method clinique, whereby a traditional intelligence test could serve as the basis for a clinical interview (Indiana.edu. 2006). Piaget's work has influenced other educators and philosophers who share the same respect for children. Examples are John Dewey, Maria Montessori and Paulo Freire, who have fought harder for immediate change in schools. Additionally, Piaget has
Specialized Instructional Strategies for Teaching Reading The objective of this study is to examine two studies relating to development of literacy in preschoolers in view of the National Reading Project. Toward this end this study will examine the work of the National Early Literacy Panel (2008) and the work of Vossenkuhl (2010) both of which report studies involving literacy learning in preschool students.

visual cues come from students developing knowledge of letter/sound relationships and of how letters are formed what letters and words look like often identified as sounding out words Example 2- Phoneme Awareness -- Recognizing Rhyme Assessment (Klein, 2003).
