The Emergent Literacy LearnerThe emergent stage of literacy development is from birth to kindergarten.
This is a time when emergent learners are making connections between what is being read and printed words.
Needs to develop skills in oral language, listen comprehension, phonemic awareness, and concepts of print.
The Beginning Literacy LearnerThe beginning stage of literacy development is from late kindergarten to 1st or 2nd grade.
This is a time training time when beginning literacy learners are learning how to read.
Beginning literacy learners need to practice their literacy skills to become fluent.
Need to read out loud to have time to process what they are reading.
Teachers need to talk to their students to find out about them.
What are their interest?
What is their culture?
How do they feel about reading?
What is their English language proficiency level?

How to use the literacy matrix to select text for the needs of my students, has inspired me. I thought I was using a good variety texts in my lessons, but the matrix helped me realized I needed to use a better mixture of texts and include more informational texts selections.
Emergent and beginning literacy learners need similar literacy instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and writing based on their individual needs as learns.
ReflectionI have realized through this course that it is important to get to know my students. I need to know more than their developmental learning levels, I need to know who they are as individuals. My students interest, their cultures, and their families are important tools when planning a motivating instructional activating.
