QUESTION 1: (12)
1.1 Hill (2008) identifies different levels of language development in young
learners.
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 at the Early-Reading Level
Language Development at the Early-Reading Level:
Learners at the Early-reading level have begun to make connections between
spoken and written language. Key characteristics of this stage include:
• Decoding skills: Learners start to recognize and sound out letters and simple
words.
• Vocabulary development: They begin to understand and use a growing
number of words.
• Comprehension: They can comprehend simple texts and follow a story with
pictures.
• Print awareness: Learners recognize that print carries meaning and
understand the directionality of text (left to right, top to bottom).
• Phonemic awareness: They can identify and manipulate individual sounds
in words.
• Basic sentence structure: Learners begin to understand and use basic
sentence structures in both reading and writing.
How Knowledge of These Stages Helps Teachers:
Understanding these stages enables teachers to:
, • Target Instruction: Tailor their teaching strategies to meet learners'
specific needs, ensuring that instruction is neither too easy nor too
challenging.
• Provide Appropriate Materials: Select texts and activities that match
learners' reading levels, which helps maintain engagement and promotes
confidence.
• Support Differentiation: Implement differentiated instruction to cater to
diverse learning needs within the classroom.
• Monitor Progress: Assess learners’ development accurately and provide
timely interventions to address any difficulties.
• Build Foundation Skills: Focus on foundational skills such as phonemic
awareness and decoding, which are crucial for future reading success.
• Encourage a Love for Reading: Create a positive and supportive
environment that fosters a love for reading and learning.
1.1.2 Activities to Develop Language Skills for Early-Reading Level Learners
Activity 1: Picture Story Sequencing
Objective: To enhance comprehension, vocabulary, and narrative skills.
Materials Needed:
• A set of picture cards depicting a simple story (e.g., a day at the park).
Instructions:
1. Introduction: Show the picture cards to the class and briefly describe what
each picture represents.
2. Group Activity: Divide learners into small groups and give each group a set
of the picture cards.
3. Sequencing: Ask learners to arrange the pictures in the correct order to tell
the story.
4. Storytelling: Once arranged, each group will narrate the story using the
picture sequence. Encourage learners to describe the actions and emotions in
each picture.
