Encouraging Young Children's Writing ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Maehr, Jane Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education Urbana IL. Many educators and parents assume that young children must progress through a sequence of clearly defined skill areas to acquire listening, speaking, reading, and, finally, writing facility. As a result, young children often are not encouraged to write until they have learned how to read and have mastered the mechanics of writing (grammar, capitalization, punctuation). Recent studies in emergent literacythe early stages of learning to write and readhave shown that young children compose before they know much about the conventions of writing and reading or have the skill to control the formation of letters. As young children gradually realize the usefulness of writingeven unconventional writingthey are encouraged to develop related literacy skills. HIGH/SCOPE'S APPROACH TO EMERGENT LITERACY In High/Scope learning settings, children are given numerous opportunities to observe purposeful writing. For example, on the first day at the High/Scope Demonstration Preschool, each child chooses an identification symbol that is used to label his or her cubby, artwork, and other belongings. Children's symbols are usually drawings of shapes or familiar objects (for example, a circle, star, or tree). Each child's symbol is displayed on an identification sign that also includes the child's name and photo. Children use their symbols daily.

Parenting Ideas - Preschool Reading and Writing Fundamentals Young children are building reading and writing fundamentals almost from birth. The words, songs, and stories we tell our children build the foundation for our language and the roots of learning to read. Research on brain and literacy development emphasizes that many different kinds of preschool early literacy experiences help children become successful readers and writers. Preschoolers are developing their vocabulary at a tremendous rate; most children understand much more than they can use in their speech. Children must be encouraged to use language to communicate ideas and feelings, ask and answer questions and to tell stories. We can help children by modeling appropriate conversation skills ourselves. Respect others as they are talking by listening carefully and responding appropriately. Because reading involves making connections between words and ideas, children also benefit from opportunities to talk about the meaning of words and making connections between words and images. By being read to over and over again, children gradually recognize that stories have a beginning, middle and end and are eager to tell you the story. When children realize that words are symbols for ideas and thoughts, they have developed an important brick in their reading foundation. While learning to read receives a great deal of attention, it goes hand in hand with learning to write. Before children become writers, they have to learn that writing uses symbols for speech and putting these symbols on paper is writing. When they see adults writing, they learn that this is another form of communication. In the beginning, children use pictures and scribbles to communicate. With a lot of practice and encouragement from adults, children discover their writing is appreciated and will eventually start to string random letters together.

III. Preschool Reading and the Bilingual Child Mariana and Elena Past Learn to Read English and Spanish How the Christian Children Learned to Read Spanish and English A Case of Korean/English Bilingualism and Biliteracy Plurilingualism and Pluriliteracy ... Summary If a monolingual child can get a headstart by learning to read before going to school, why can't a bilingual child get a double headstart by learning to read two languages before entering school? No one would deny the educational importance of skill in reading; nor would many deny the advantage of a knowledge of two spoken languages. The theoretical advantage of knowing how to read and write in two languages would seem to be self-evident, and yet biliteracy is rarely emphasized as an objective in our schools. This is an intriguing fact. Is there perchance a parallel between this fact and that other widely recognized fact that illiteracy and semiliteracy are common in our schools? If early readers rarely have difficulties in school, can we assume that bilingual children too would have no difficulties if they learned how to read in two languages before entering school? Personally I like Chester Christian's statement and implied solution of the problem: In an important sense, the education of those who speak two languages can never be "equal" to the education of monolinguals; it must be inferior or superior. Whether it will be the one or the other depends heavily on whether literacy is provided in only one or in both languages. (

The IRA and NAEYC believe that this position statement will contribute significantly to an improvement in practice and the development of supportive educational policies. The two associations saw that a clear, concise position statement was needed at this time for several reasons. It is essential and urgent to teach children to read and write competently, enabling them to achieve today's high standards of literacy. Although the United States enjoys the highest literacy rate in its history, society now expects virtually everyone in the population to function beyond the minimum standards of literacy. Today the definition of basic proficiency in literacy calls for a fairly high standard of reading comprehension and analysis. The main reason is that literacy requirements of most jobs have increased significantly and are expected to increase further in the future. Communications that in the past were verbal (by phone or in person) now demand reading and writingmessages sent by electronic mail, Internet, or facsimile as well as print documents.

Benson Last month's article: Assessing Young Children For more Issues articles visit: The Issues Article Archive Emergent Writing: Developing emergent writing skills in the early childhood classroom Preschool and kindergarten children develop reading and writing skills simultaneously. One area of development supports the other. It is as important for teachers to provide a variety of authentic writing experiences as it is to provide opportunities to explore and learn about reading. Incorporating writing into your daily schedule is essential to supporting children's emergent literacy development. Overview Children go through developmental stages in learning to write. Children are best supported when you determine their current emergent writing skills and provide appropriate opportunities to expand them. Preschoolers and kindergarteners often have great variation in their writing experiences prior to coming to school. Some may be quite comfortable using markers and crayons and others may have had very few opportunities to use writing utensils. Think about each child as an individual and offer writing activities that match current skill levels and encourage new ones. Learning to write asks children to use multiple physical and mental processes in one effort. Writing combines many skills and relies on development in areas not specific to writing. It requires fine motor skills -or the ability to use muscles in the fingers and hands; attention to focus for periods of time; memory to generate ideas and retrieve letters and appropriate words; and language to be able to express themselves.

It is a resource for those who want to introduce age appropriate reading techniques to a child, or for those who are interested in offering learning experiences to help provide a healthy foundation required for successful reading. Teaching Our Youngest can also be for the person who doesn't have a lot of time to spend teaching a child to read, but wants to confirm that the child is receiving adequate exposure to skills needed to develop positive lifelong language habits. This very straightforward and easy to read 38 page publication conveniently summarizes years and years of proven techniques and research used to develop and improve reading skills within the young child (from birth to age five.) Teaching Our Youngest presents very basic suggestions and activities to enrich reading skills followed by advice for informally assessing a child's progress. The guide not only offers simple strategies you can present and teach anywhere (i.e., while driving with your child, at home, waiting in lines, or in the classroom,), but also gives real-life classroom examples for reassurance with instruction. Valuable information on building support and communication between teacher and parent is also covered. The publication then concludes with clearly defining and making sense of the forever changing "buzz words" related with teaching reading and further recommends updated resources.
