 For  most  children so much of our literacy learning, especially the precursors of emergent literacy. happens before preschool and elementary school (Dickinson & McCabe, 2001; Watkins & Bunce, 1996). For  most  children so much of our literacy learning, especially the precursors of emergent literacy. happens before preschool and elementary school (Dickinson & McCabe, 2001; Watkins & Bunce, 1996).

 +Marie Clay coined the term Emergent Literacy as building on a child's experience with meaningful print.They begin to recognize that print carries meaning and can delineate print from pictures.Children recognize that print contains meaning, it is important, and they increase the books and texts they read.

 Scholars from the Laboratory of Comparative Human Cognition in San Diego took activity theory, developed by Leont'ev and  other Soviet psychologists based on the work of Vygotsky and applied it to early literacy.. These studies by examining families of marginalized communities found literacy as an act mediated by everyday life and only when the focus was literacy instruction did the dialogue stress learning. The key understanding was that literacy is linguistically bound to acquiring culture and the way literacy gets taught reflects and reinforces the culture through the act of learning. Scholars from the Laboratory of Comparative Human Cognition in San Diego took activity theory, developed by Leont'ev and  other Soviet psychologists based on the work of Vygotsky and applied it to early literacy..

 +==== Emergent Literacy Skills ====
 +
 +Again, while much of the focus on emergent literacy moves away from traditional and developmental phases of discrete skills patterns have emerged from research.
 +
 +  * Understanding print carries meaning (Justice & Ezell, 2001)
 +  * recognizing individual words in both print and speech (Tunmer, Bowey,& Grieve, 1983)
 +  * Having phonological awareness (Anthony, & Barker, 1998)
 +
 +==== Environmental Print ====
 +
 +The emergent literacy of alphabet knowledge, concepts about print, and emergent writing develop through interactions with text before formal schooling (Bowman & Treiman, 2004; Teale & Sulzby, 1986; Whitehurst & Lonigan, 1998). [[Environmental Print]], all the words, logos, and labels that surround children help to build emergent literacy.
  
 ==== In the Classroom ==== ==== In the Classroom ====
  
 +=== Pictures and Objects ===
 +
 +Have students connect print to objects by playing matching games. provide tactile letters such as magnet letters or letting students. Match pictures to sounds. Have students make starting sounds of mmmm for moo when you hold up a picture of a cow.
 +
 +=== Environmental Print ===
 +
 +Label everything in your classroom preferably in multiple languages
 +
 +=== Vocabulary ===
 +
 +Focus on specific words each week and reinforce through dialogical reading and interactive read-alouds. utilize word walls, play games having students find words and letters around the classroom. Read and build word books.
 +
 +=== Concepts of Print ===
 +
 +Let kids play with and navigate books. Focus on the key elements of [[concepts about print]].
