Emergent Literacy ? A Definition
n Emergent literacy is the gradual, ongoing development of language skills that takes place from birth through the early elementary years. Listening, speaking, reading, and writing are interconnected pieces of emerging literacy. Children first learn to listen and speak. They make sense of the language they hear and learn to express their own ideas and feelings. Then they use these and other skills to explore reading and writing. Each of these language skills contributes to the development and use of the others.
Why is the Issue of Emergent Literacy
Important for Children with Disabilities?
Children with disabilities and special needs are at risk:
n For communication and language delays n Because learning objectives in communication & language lay
the foundation for literacy n Because they often do not receive important interventions
in other emergent literacy skills because of their language delays n Since it is expected that children with disabilities will become readers and writers, their learning experiences must be rich in the pre-literacy skills necessary to read and write
