QUESTION 1
1.1. Language is central to literacy and should therefore be integral to
emergent literacy. Based on this statement, describe the common thread
between the following emergent literacy skills:
a. Emergent speaking (5)
Emergent literacy is the process of developing language and literacy skills before
children learn how to read and write. It includes oral language skills, such as
speaking and listening, as well as print awareness, which is the ability to
understand that print can carry meaning.
Children begin developing emergent literacy skills from a very young age. Even
before they are born, they are exposed to language through the sounds that they
hear in their environment. As they grow and develop, they start to learn the
sounds of their language and how to put them together to form words. They also
start to learn about the different ways that print can be used, such as in books,
signs, and advertisements.
There are many things that parents and caregivers can do to help children
develop emergent literacy skills. Some of the most important things include:
Reading to children every day.
Talking to children about the books that you are reading.
Singing songs and rhymes with children.
Writing down children's stories and drawings.
Providing children with access to books and other print materials.
