The document discusses emergent literacy and its key concepts. It defines emergent literacy as the stage where children first begin interacting with reading and writing before formal schooling. This stage involves children developing knowledge of concepts like directionality and the relationship between spoken and written words. The document also outlines five stages of reading development: emergent, early, transitional, self-extending, and advanced. It notes that emergent writing is experimental and meant to communicate. Finally, it discusses the important role of the home environment in promoting early literacy through activities like reading to children and involving them in literacy-related activities.
This document discusses theories of learning and early literacy. It defines emergent literacy as how young children interact with books through reading and writing even before they can do so conventionally. Emergent literacy develops gradually from birth until conventional reading and writing skills are acquired. The process involves speaking, listening, reading, writing, and viewing visual materials. Early literacy begins as children are exposed to communication through signs, books being read to them, and scribbling. Reading and writing develop concurrently through engagement with books and writing. Listening to books read aloud helps literacy development. Parents can promote early literacy in infants through books with pictures and rhymes and in toddlers by providing literature and supporting writing. Home literacy experiences are important for school readiness and achievement
This lesson plan discusses the course descriptions, goals, and objectives of language subjects like English and Filipino.

The document discusses factors that contribute to successful schools based on research. It notes that high-performing schools plan instruction starting with their special education and English as a second language students, unlike most schools that mold curriculum to above-average students. It identifies 9 central factors in education planning, including teaching essential content, understanding each student, integrating research, and breaking learning into small parts. Additionally, it states that high-performing schools believe all children can learn, focus first on the needs of hardest-to-serve students, and are placing special education and ESL educators in leadership roles.

The document discusses the different learning styles that children have and how they learn best. It identifies the main learning styles as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, analytic, global, and environmental. Visual learners learn best by seeing information like pictures and objects. Auditory learners learn best by listening and talking. Kinesthetic learners learn best through movement and touch. Analytic learners learn best through organization, lists, and details. Global learners learn best through intuition and quick processing. Environmental learners learn best through factors like sound, light, and temperature. The document concludes that recognizing these different learning styles can help teachers be more effective.

1. Teaching children is different than teaching adults in several key ways. Children learn based on their interests, needs, and developmental characteristics which are physical, emotional, and conceptual. 2. Children have less control over their lives and learn best in their native language as they are still developing physically, emotionally, and conceptually. They also have shorter attention spans and get bored more easily. 3. Younger children are focused on developing literacy and numeracy skills while older children nearing puberty can learn more complex grammatical expressions. All children benefit from stimulating learning experiences.
A school becomes a best platform for a child to find out his/her innate qualities that would help them grow better and prepare themselves better for the future. A school must plan out in the beginning of the every academic year how it can make the child to learn better and make learning more interesting
