For those of you who have little ones who will be in my class next year, here are some accomplishments they can achieve before their first day of school.
- recognize specific books by cover
- pretend to read books
- understands that books are handled in particular ways
- enters into a book-sharing routine with primary caregivers
- vocalization play in crib gives way to enjoyment of rhyming language, nonsense word play, etc.
- label objects in books
- comments on characters in books
- looks at picture in book and realizes it is a symbol for real object
- listens to stories
- requests/commands adults to read and write
- may begin attending to specific print, such as letters and names
- uses increasingly purposeful scribbling
- occasionally seems to distinguish between drawing and writing
- produces some letter-like forms and scribbles with some features of English writing
These are things children should accomplish between birth and 3 years old. It creates a firm base of literacy skills, preparing them for the accomplishments expected in kindergarten
