About:
This lecture delves into the core components of emergent literacy—phonological awareness, print awareness, vocabulary, narrative skills, and emerging writing—with a focus on second language learners. These foundational skills are critical for supporting early literacy development and ensuring long-term academic success. The session will explore the unique challenges and opportunities faced by multilingual learners, emphasizing strategies to nurture these skills in culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms. Participants will gain practical insights into fostering phonemic sensitivity, promoting print-rich environments, expanding vocabulary through meaningful interactions, encouraging narrative construction, and supporting the early stages of writing. Join us to explore how these interconnected domains empower second language learners to thrive in their literacy journey.
