Question 1 [30] 1.1 Provide five (5) practical examples of
opportunities that parents can create at home to promote
emergent literacy skills in the early years. (5) 1.2 Language plays
a key role in literacy and should be an essential part of
emergent literacy. Based on this statement, explain the
common connection among the following emergent literacy
skills: (15) a. Emergent speaking (5) b. Emergent reading (5) c.
Emergent writing (5) 1.3 Watch the YouTube video in your study
guide under learning unit 1.5.1 and justify the importance of
using games to support language learning in a Grade R
classroom. Provide suitable examples to support your answer.
(10) Question 2 [40] 2.1 Evaluate the impact of vocabulary
development on a child’s long-term academic success. What are
the possible outcomes for children who enter school with a
limited vocabulary compared to those with a rich vocabulary,
and how might this disparity influence their future academic
achievements? (10) 2.2 Differentiate between dramatic and
television play and provide the advantages of each to the
development of language. (10) 2.3 Analyse the picture below

,EML1501/102/0/2025 7 2.3.1 List and discuss five (5)
perceptual skills that can be developed in the above activity.
(15) 2.3.2 Outline various ways in which you as a teacher can
use the activity in the picture to promote emergent literacy. (5)
Question 3 [30] 3.1 Analyse and differentiate the cognitive and
social approaches to language learning according to Piaget and
Vygotsky. How can each theory guide the creation of an
environment that supports the optimal development of
emergent literacy skills? (20) 3.2 Based on Skinner's operant
theory for teaching language, design a storytelling strategy
using concrete examples that you would implement as a
Foundation Phase or Preschool teacher. Substantiate your
choices and explain how this approach would enhance
children's language acquisition. (10)
Question 1 [30]
1.1 Five practical examples of opportunities that parents can
create at home to promote emergent literacy skills: (5)
1. Storytelling and reading aloud – Parents can read picture
books daily and encourage children to retell the story.
2. Labeling household items – Use labels on common objects
like “door,” “cupboard,” and “chair” to build print
awareness.
, 3. Singing nursery rhymes and songs – Enhances
phonological awareness through rhythm and repetition.
4. Writing shopping lists together – Involves children in
writing, even if scribbles, to simulate early writing.
5. Conversation during routine activities – Engage in regular
talk during cooking or bathing to develop vocabulary.
1.2 Common connection among emergent literacy skills: (15)
a. Emergent speaking (5)
Emergent speaking involves the early use of oral language to
express needs, feelings, and ideas. Through conversations with
caregivers, children learn vocabulary, sentence structures, and
communication skills. This oral language foundation supports
both reading and writing development.
b. Emergent reading (5)
Emergent reading begins when children start recognizing print
and developing an understanding that print carries meaning.
Listening to stories, identifying letters, and mimicking reading
are all influenced by language exposure, which builds
vocabulary and comprehension.
c. Emergent writing (5)
