LESSON 2
EARLY LITERACY BEHAVIOR MIND SET
describe early literacy behavior in terms of
physical abilities, language, reading and writing skills.
• discriminate the stages of the
reading process • .identify the type of child learner in terms of reading abilities BEHAVIOR OF EMERGENT LITERACY When children attend formal education, they have been already equipped with many literacy concepts and certain oral language, reading and writing competencies. GOODMAN 1984 reported that many children have already known certain things which are necessary for reading.
VYGOTSKY- asserts about higher mental
functionsas internalized social relationship show that children increase their independent engagement in reading activities with previously acquired enter action with more literate others such as their parents. CLARK 1976,CLAY 1967,1975,DUNKIN1996,GRAVE,1978 Literacy develpment begins with childrens first experiences with print in the home and continues through preschool and to the first few years of formal schooling. SCARBOROUGH AND DOBRICH(1994) described emergent literacy as a highly complex concept and that children are developing simultaneously with respect to many crucial and eventual literate behavior. THE BEHAVIOR PROVIDED FOR IS A GUIDE 1. to determine which behavior can be identified for acquisition 2. to recognized which behavior can be associated with approximation 3.to identify which behavior can be linked to development. HOLDAWAY describes young childrens approximations of reading like play that is almost unintelligible at first until this reading like play rapidly becomes picture stimulated page matched and story complete. MEEK(1982) describes learning to read in the early stages, like everything else a child has come to know approximation of adult behavior with agenuine, meaningful function.
