Course Overview
Literacy has long been aimed at older children, but recent studies have shown that it’s the early literacy skills gained before age 5 that truly set the path to sustained achievement in later years. As a professional working with these young children, you are invested in their long-term success at school and at life and one of the ways to give children a strong foundation for the future is by teaching them emergent literacy skills through book-reading.
Establishing a child’s reading skills when he is still developing his language abilities is a challenge, one made easier by the realisation that literacy starts the same way as language – through communication and interaction. The Never Too Soon for Literacy: Paving the Way to Literacy Success e-Seminar addresses the importance of emergent literacy and provides evidence-based strategies that build both language and literacy in children that are typically developing, have mild language delays or are at-risk of language delays.
Learning Highlights
Each video of this e-Seminar introduces an important component of emergent literacy and provides you with practical strategies to implement in your day-to-day exchanges with children. The segments include:
- Video examples – videos of book-reading interactions between professionals and parents with children show you how to implement the strategies of the seminar
- Self-reflection questions – following each component, discussion questions summarize the core practices and help you identify how to apply these to your daily work
- Book suggestions – throughout the seminar, discover book titles that promote reading among infants and toddlers
