What is Developing Language?
Developmentally Appropriate While the preschool years are the prime time
for developing the emergent reader’s literacy skills, we need to emphasize that we are not advocating the “push down” of the kindergarten or first-grade curriculum. - Wolfe & Nevills, 2004 – Building the Reading Brain, PreK-3
Language and literacy development in the preschool years should not stress isolated skills development or formal instruction in phonics. Linguistic awareness is best developed within the context of the child’s work and play. The environment, whether at home or in preschool, should provide many opportunities to hear and play with language. These opportunities should, whenever possible, be a part of the child’s natural experiences - Bredekamp, 1987
Beginning writing skills are enhanced when children draw, color (but not within the lines), copy, and invent their own spelling – Chomsky, 1979
DLP.1 Engaging with Stories and Books
Enhancing Comprehension through Story Time Being read to aloud in an expressive
manner from an appealing book has been associated with improved literacy learning – Clay, 1979
The preschool child still needs and wants to be read to. This develops two important literacy skills: print exploration and comprehension.
Children develop a sense of story – beginning, middle, end
Reading promotes positive feelings about books and purpose of reading.
Reading from a variety of books develops children’s background knowledge
Builds vocabulary Engages children in inferential thinking Engages children in “pretend” reading

DLP.2 Gaining Meaning from a Variety of Visual Formats and Text Materials
Print is everywhere! Print is print no matter where it is found! As adults, we use print in many ways. Print can be produced by anyone. Print is different from other kinds of visual
information. Print holds information. Print symbolizes information, and what we
say can be written. Adams, 1990

Social & Emotional Domain
Social emotional competence has been shown to be one of the greatest determinants of future success both in school and life.
- Riley et al, 2008, CEECD, 2009, NIEER, 2007
Graffiti Activity In a large group, identify all the social
and emotional concerns your students are exhibiting in your classroom. Do not mention student names. Write these in the circle.
Outside your circle write the interventions, strategies, and other supports you have in place for eliminating these social and emotional concerns.
