I don't think I could have found a more perfect resource than this to share as our semester ends. This document on Language & Literacy Development encompasses much of what we have discussed in class not to mention a great list of resources at the end.

There is so much more to a child's development than crying, eating, walking, and talking. Child development is a process in which children master various obstacles. A process in which many theorists and psychologists differ enormously. No matter who you agree or disagree with we now know many strategies and skills that we will use in order to be more effective when it comes to emergent literacy. Having worked in 5th grade for the past few years it was difficult for me to think about the beginning stages of emergent literacy. This class has provided me the opportunity to dive in and learn about the stages that young readers and writers go through. I've had the opportunity to learn many new ideas, lessons, & strategies that can be used when teaching vocabulary development, phonemic awareness, phonics, comprehension, word study, and writing. Now that I will be teaching third grade I will definitely be utilizing the knowledge that I have acquired.
