Guest Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hi everyone Can anyone define the term emergent literacy? And what are the implications of this approach for parents and early years professionals? I am having difficulty with this one and I would be really gratefully for any help.

Thanks 27552[/snapback] Don't know if I'm doing this right, it's my first time! EarlyYears Educator has had a series of good articles by Ros Bailet exploring all the aspects of emerging literacy-now out as a book. Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hi Barb Do you mean without the quote from somebody else in it? If so you have to reply by using the reply button that is just above where it tells you how many users are reading this topic. You must be using the button to reply to a post which is right underneath each one-where it says delete, edit, quote and reply. Does this make sense? On reading it I don't think perhaps it does!!! I can't think of a better way of explaining it!!! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi zmcbrid, I am a teacher in a nursery setting within a school, I allow my children to use emergent writing if they are confident to do so- I also encourage parents to do the same. Some parents dont think that they should as they think of it as wrong, but I tell them otherwise- I then ask children to read to me what they have written, sometimes I will scribe underneath their writing so that they can see my writing I think its a great chance to encourage their communication skills and they are so proud of their achievements. As children become familiar with letters and words they start to form and then practice correct letter formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
