Mostly from modeling. • Assessed with letter sound fluency measures (DIBELS) • Book sense, book handling skills • Phonological awareness – sounds make words • Assessed with phoneme segmentation (DIBELS)
Emergent Literacy (con’t) • Oral Language • Print to speech to comprehsnion (understanding) • Understanding events (a story) that are not happening in the here and now “live” • Vocabulary including vocabulary size • Comprehension • Understanding text (even when read aloud), connecting it to schema
