QUESTION 1: (12)
1.1.1 Discuss the language development of learners who are at the Early-reading level
and explain how the knowledge of these stages will enable teachers to assist learners in
developing language in class. (6)
1.1.2 Create TWO (2) activities that you would use to develop language skills for Early-reading
level learners. (6)
### 1.1.1 Language Development of Early-Reading Level Learners
Learners at the Early-reading level are typically in the process of
transitioning from pre-reading skills to basic reading proficiency. This
stage is characterized by several developmental milestones:
1. **Phonemic Awareness**: Children begin to recognize and
manipulate sounds in words. They can identify rhymes, blend sounds,
and segment words into their constituent phonemes.
2. **Letter Recognition**: Learners start to identify and name letters of
the alphabet, both uppercase and lowercase. They also begin to
associate letters with their corresponding sounds, a skill known as
phonics.
3. **Vocabulary Growth**: As children engage with stories and texts,
their vocabulary expands. They begin to understand common sight
words and phrases, which aids in reading fluency.
, 4. **Concept of Print**: Learners develop an understanding of the
layout of the page, recognizing that text is read from left to right and
that words are made up of letters.
5. **Comprehension Skills**: Early readers start to understand the
basics of narrative structure, such as the beginning, middle, and end of
stories, as well as the main idea and supporting details.
6. **Motivation and Engagement**: At this stage, learners often
respond positively to stories and illustrations, enhancing their
enjoyment of reading and desire to engage with texts.
**The Role of Teachers**: Understanding these stages allows teachers
to tailor their instruction and activities to meet the specific needs of
their learners. By recognizing where each student is in their language
development, teachers can:
- Provide targeted phonics instruction that aligns with learners' skills.
- Select age-appropriate texts that encourage engagement and
comprehension.
- Incorporate activities that build upon learners' existing vocabulary and
encourage word usage in context.
- Foster a love for reading through interactive and enjoyable literacy
experiences.
### 1.1.2 Activities to Develop Language Skills for Early-Reading Level
Learners
**Activity 1: Sound Scavenger Hunt**
**Objective**: To develop phonemic awareness and letter-sound
recognition.
**Materials Needed**: Picture cards or objects that begin with
different initial sounds (e.g., /b/ for ball, /m/ for mug, etc.).
**Instructions**:
