  5. Phonological Awareness & Literacy Screening: Upper & Lower Case Letters • Upper Case Letters • Children are asked to point to each of the letters in a non-alphabetical order. • Children can name the letters or point to them in response to the request. • 19 upper case letters identified is the goal* • Lower Case Letters • Only given to children who identified 19 or more letters on the upper case assessment • 4 lower case letters identified is the goal* • *Set by U.S. Department of Education

  6. Addressing Letter Knowledge • RESIST all temptations to teach letters in isolation - it will not lead to long term gains in literacy. • Use letters throughout the day in engaging and purposeful ways: • signing in • predictable charts & familiar songs • alphabet books • alphabet play
