Question 1
1.1. Provide five (5) practical examples of opportunities that parents can create at home to
promote emergent literacy skills in the early years.
Engage in Verbal Interaction:
Parents can support language development by regularly talking with their child and encouraging
them to respond. Simple conversations throughout the day help children learn to listen, process
language, and express themselves. This daily back-and-forth builds a strong foundation for oral
communication.
Read Aloud Regularly:
Reading stories aloud to children promotes listening skills and language development. It also sparks
imagination and introduces new vocabulary in a natural way. Over time, this helps children develop
a love for reading and a deeper understanding of how language works.
Utilize Environmental Print:
Parents can point out and talk about the print found on everyday items like cereal boxes, road signs,
or store logos. These familiar visuals help children connect symbols and words to meaning. It also
shows them that print is all around and plays a role in daily life.
Involve Children in Writing Everyday Lists:
Letting children help with writing things like grocery lists or sticky notes around the house
introduces them to the idea that writing carries meaning. These small tasks show them how writing is
used for real-life purposes and give them a chance to explore letters and words.
Use Audio and Video Recordings:
Playing age-appropriate stories or songs and asking children to talk about what they heard can boost
listening and comprehension skills. When used in moderation and followed by conversation, audio
and video materials can be a helpful tool in supporting language learning.
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:
A) Emergent speaking
Emergent speaking is the phase where children begin developing oral language by listening and
engaging in conversation. Through regular verbal interaction with adults, they start understanding
the sounds, patterns, and meanings of words. This early exposure lays the foundation for other
literacy skills, helping children build vocabulary, practice pronunciation, and gain confidence in
expressing their thoughts. Skills like phonological awareness, vocabulary development, and
storytelling all fall under emergent speaking and directly contribute to later reading and writing
success.
