  READ DIRECTIONS-

Early literacy is critical in the development of emergent readers. Students who have knowledge of letters and their corresponding sounds build a strong foundation for reading. Educators must use effective teaching methods to build mastery with phonemic awareness and phonics in early childhood classrooms. It is also important to remember the difference and relationship between phonemic awareness and phonics.

Imagine you are a teacher in a K-3 classroom with emergent readers who are developing their phonics skills. You have been asked by your supervisor to host a family night to educate families on the importance of literacy in the home.

Create a 1-2 page digital handout to share with families at the family night. For your handout, include the following:

• The difference between phonics and phonemic awareness.


• Explanation of how phonemic awareness and phonics meet the developmental needs of young children.


• Description of one developmentally appropriate activity using technology-based instructional methods to support phonemic awareness that parents can do with students at home.


• Description of one developmentally appropriate activity to support phonics skills that parents can do with students at home.

The digital handout should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.

In addition to your digital handout, write a 250-500 word reflection in which you consider the following:

• What was your rationale behind creating your activities?


• How critical is differentiation for early childhood students?


• How can you modify activities to support all learners?


• Why can mastering phonemic awareness be difficult for some young children?

Support your assignment with 3-5 scholarly resources.
