Shifting the Balance
TEXTBOOKS
Burkins, J. & Yates, K. (2021). Shifting the balance: 6 ways to bring the science of reading into the balanced literacy classroom . Portsmouth, New Hampshire: Stenhouse Publishers.
This book supplemented the main content of our course, which embedded the new structured literacy competencies into teaching and learning at a level that was not covered within the regular textbook.
Head Start and Emergent Literacy
The collaboration between Head Start and public education should stand strong. There is a strong correlation between students that attend a form of preschool and their academic success throughout the remainder of their formal education. Head Start is a resource that is incorporated into this Emergent Literacy class, as primary educators should be aware, and work alongside, Head Start programs.
Print Knowledge
What is Print Knowledge?
Print knowledge includes:
• letter names, ability to recognize and say the names of letters;
• letter sounds, knowing the sound a letter represents; and,
• concepts of print, understanding how print works.
Phonological Awareness
What is Phonological Awareness (PA)?
The understanding that spoken language can be broken down into parts and the ability to manipulate those parts at the word, syllable, onset-rime, and phoneme levels. Onset is the part of a word that comes before the vowel and rime is the vowel and letters that follow. For example, in sun, /s/ is the onset, and /un/ is the rime. Phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in spoken words. For example, cat has three phonemes /k/ /ă/ /t/. PA is a heard or spoken skill and does not involve written words.
Vocabulary
What is Vocabulary?
Vocabulary is knowing words and word meanings. It includes expressive vocabulary (words said or produced) and receptive vocabulary (words heard and understood).
Oral Language
What is Oral Language?
Oral language is the system of words and word combinations used to communicate with others through speaking and listening. Oral language is the foundation on which all emergent literacy and later reading is built and supports children’s math, science, social, and self-regulation skills
