LEARNING DIARY
Chapter: First Steps to Literacy: English Learners Beginning to Write and Read
Topics in this chapter (chapter 6)
Summary:
What Does Research Tell Us about Early
Literacy Development?
We discussed early literacy research and
described three instructional perspectives:
reading readiness, emergent literacy, and
balanced literacy.
Which Print Functions and Forms Are Acquired
during Early Literacy Development?
How May Family and Community Nurture Early
Literacy Development?
We have described initial understandings of
the forms and functions of print that new
How May English Learners’ Early Literacy
Development Be Assessed?
Which Classroom Strategies Promote Early
Literacy Development?
How May Early Literacy Instruction Be
Differentiated for English Learners?
students of the written word must develop,
regardless of age.
We focused on current efforts to build
stronger ties between families and schools,
including descriptions of programs that help
parents of English learners learn English
themselves.
We proposed various strategies for developing
early reading and writing and proposed several
ways to assess and document early literacy.
We discussed differentiated instruction for
young students and provided example lessons
to illustrate how to do this.
Significative Learning:
For all learners, literacy development is a
complex process that takes place over a
lengthy period during which they gradually
approximate mature versions of reading and
writing. In both reading and writing, all
students must learn the forms of print,
including letters and other symbols; and how
these are sequenced into words, sentences,
and paragraphs to create letters, stories,
recipes, and other forms of written
communication.
English learners’ ability to perceive and
produce English speech sounds, depending on
the extent of their English language
proficiency.
When communication functions become clear,
students perceive the benefits of their hard
work in literacy learning. In this section, we
discuss ways to highlight literacy functions and
forms to promote early writing and reading
development.
Cultural differences may also impede the
school relationships you wish to achieve, if
parents’ prior experiences with schools were
minimal or if their school experiences
emphasized separate, autonomous roles for
home and school.
Self- Critical Evaluation
After I read this chapter is very important to
take in consideration what are the areas in
which English literacy is focused about each
learner.
As a future teacher we have to take in mind
that our classroom must be adapted to new
ways of teaching taking in consideration the
variables that we study in this chapter 6.
