Guidance from the Wisconsin Department
of Public Instruction:
• deliver content-rich curriculum with challenging but achievable goals in ways that honor and respect the unique learning needs of young children
• Use a play-based curriculum to develop self regulation, language, cognition, and social competence
• Core universal curriculum should include support for all developmental domains and content areas as described in the WMELS

Dual Language Learners (DLLs)“Children, birth to 5, who are learning 2 or more
languages at the same time, as well as those learning a second language (English) while continuing to develop
their home or first language.” Reinl, R. Language in Play: Introduction to the Early English Language Development (E-ELD) Standards , Webinar 2013 www.wida.us/EarlyYears
• Universal practices, the foundation for meeting the needs of all children, includes differentiated instruction
• Adaptations and modifications to meet the needs of individual children essential – it’s Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP)!

Intentional teaching - using shared (dialogic) reading, shared writing, and multiple opportunities to interact with writing, letters, sounds, and spoken words - is necessary.
Children might also need some explicit developmentally appropriate instruction to learn vocabulary, phonological awareness, the alphabet, and print concepts.
Exposure to print, books, and read alouds are important, but not enough to prepare children to become readers and writers.

National guidance
Children need 3 sets of interrelated skills and knowledge, taught and cultivated over time, to reach reading proficiency:
• language and communication skills • content knowledge • “mechanics” of reading
A Governor’s Guide to Early Literacy: Getting All Students Reading by Third Grade, National Governors Association, Washington, DC., 2013http://www.nga.org/files/live/sites/NGA/files/pdf/2013/1310NGAEarlyLiteracyReportWeb.pdf

Shared or Interactive Reading
… a strategy where “the adult involves a child or small group of children in reading a book that may (or may not) introduce conventions of print and new vocabulary, or encourage predictions, rhyming, discussion of pictures, and other interactive experiences”
National Center for Family Literacy, 2009
![Page 15: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815677550346895dc42a30/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Shared Reading Strategies
• Know child’s interests. Follow the child’s lead when looking at a book together
• Ask questions. What/how/why questions; open ended questions that require more than a one-word answer. “Can you tell me about …?”
• Answer if the child does not know the answer, but WAIT/Give the child time to respond (count to 10 in your head or 5 seconds)
• Repeat child’s answer and add more words. (Child: “Horse.” Adult: “Yes, horse. It’s a big brown horse.”)
• Ask another question• Show your enthusiasm – offer encouragement

Step 1: Select the TextFor high quality, developmentally appropriate books,
consider:
• Age and developmental levels of your children• Children’s interests/variety of topics• Number and size of words (text) on page• Illustrations – Interesting? Attractive?• Format – board books, over-sized, interactive, etc.• Genre -nonfiction/informational; fairy tales, narratives
(stories), predictable text, concept books, poetry, nursery rhymes, wordless books, etc.

Shared Reading Supports Early LiteracyPurposes Techniques
Develop a love of reading
Be positive, keep it fun! Ensure child’s success and enjoyment
Oral Language Ask questions/listen to child’s responses; provide more information; expand on what the child says
Vocabulary Intentionally select words to teachPlan for opportunities to learn these words and use them in conversations and routines; check for understanding (assessment)
Phonological Awareness
Select books with rhyming words; nursery rhymes; that blend/stretch/substitute/match sounds
Embed clapping, marching, other rhythm activities Alphabet
KnowledgePoint out letters found in children’s names (i.e. - “my letter”)Stress letters and their corresponding sounds
Concepts of Print
Point to words as you read themNote punctuation and spaces between wordsPoint out how size and other changes in text have meaning
Writing Drawing; shared writing opportunities after reading

AN EXAMPLE: VOCABULARYAND SHARED READING
![Page 22: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815677550346895dc42a30/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Evidence-based principles for vocabulary instruction
Effective vocabulary instruction …
… is explicit… requires careful selection of vocabulary targets… is intentionally designed… is delivered with repeated exposure and practice… is linked to assessment
Spencer, E.J., Goldstein, H., & Kaminski, R. Teaching Vocabulary in Storybooks: Embedding Explicit Vocabulary Instruction for Young Children, Young Exceptional Children, DEC, vol. 15, No. 1, March 2012
![Page 23: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815677550346895dc42a30/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Embedded vocabulary instruction
#1 – select words to teach
• Review story book• Consider “tiered” words• Choose Tier 2 words for universal instruction, based
on frequency/ease of definition/ significance to story/illustrations
• Can choose Tier 1 words for some children (with delays/disabilities or learning English)
(Spencer, Goldstein, & Kaminski, 2012)
![Page 24: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815677550346895dc42a30/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Embedded vocabulary instruction#2 Design explicit instructional activities• Generate list of new words• Develop consistent language to use in instructional process:
=>Say the word =>Define the word / connect the new word to a word the child already knows (i.e. - “Enormous – it means really big. Say ‘enormous’ with me.”) =>Have children repeat the word; respond to prompt, “what does ____ mean?” Call attention to new words
=>Point to the picture in the book that illustrates the word (if available)• Embed use of word(s) in child’s daily experiences• Share words with families
(Spencer, Goldstein, & Kaminski, 2012)
![Page 25: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815677550346895dc42a30/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Summary:Shared Reading Vocabulary Support
• Prior to reading, review the book • Consider words that would be ‘next step’ vocabulary; useful
in conversation• Generate list of new words• Call attention to new words; say the word• Tell what the word means• Point to the picture in the book that illustrates the word (if
available)• Connect the new word to a word the child already knows (i.e.
- “Enormous – it means really big. Say ‘enormous’ with me.”)• Use the new word in conversation during the day;
encourage children to use it, too

Thoughts on Shared Reading
Sometimes it’s OKAY to JUST ENJOY a good book!
• Don’t over teach. Keep it fun!• Good to re-read the same book multiple times• Can focus on different purposes during
different readings
![Page 30: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815677550346895dc42a30/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Dialogic Reading
• A form of shared reading where the adult and child switch roles so the child becomes the storyteller while the adult assists as an active listener
• Requires multiple readings of the same book• Adult uses higher-level prompts to encourage the child
to go beyond naming objects/actions to higher level thinking

PEER: the dialogic
process
PROMPT the child
with a question about the
story (“What kind of animal
is this story about?”)
EVALUATE & EXPAND on the child’s response to
your question (“Yes, it is a dog. He is a very big, red
dog.”)
REPEAT the question to check for
comprehension or to see if the child has more to add (“What kind of animal is
this story about?”)
![Page 32: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815677550346895dc42a30/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
CROWD questions/prompts • Recall questions – tells the reader
about the child’s comprehension of the story
R
• Wh questions - who/what/where/when/whyO
• Open-ended questions – can’t be answered with one word or yes/no; requires more words
W• Distancing questions - guide the child to
see connections between the story and their own experiences
• Completion questions – child says a word or phrase to complete the sentence

Review/Additional Tips
• Prepare your prompts before reading the book to the children
• Share the story more than one time; focus on a different aspect of literacy with each reading
• “What do I want children to learn from this book experience?” Rhyming? Oral language? New vocabulary? Letter awareness?
• Make the book available for children to ‘pretend read’ throughout the day
• Intentional questions can provide assessment information or be used as a transition activity
![Page 38: Supporting Language and Early Literacy: at Home and in Early Childhood](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815677550346895dc42a30/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Final Thoughts – Grouping for read alouds
• Evidence mixed on group size• Large groups of children - less opportunity to
engage but more models for language and vocabulary
• Small groups of 2-3 children – more opportunity to engage; less role models for literacy behaviors
• Offer both formats depending on your purposeSource: Shanahan, T. & Lonigan, C. Early Childhood Literacy: The National Early Literacy Panel and Beyond. Brookes Publishing, Baltimore, MD, 2013

Double Focus!
Highly effective teachers and caregivers… provide daily, intentional language and early literacy learning opportunities for the children they serve, and … engage families in providing daily, intentional language and early literacy learning opportunities for their own children!
