You are listening to Beyond a Bedtime Story the podcast with your host Emily.
In this episode of Beyond a Bedtime Story the Podcast we discuss fun literacy activities (that you can incorporate at home!) for both sound work and comprehension as they appear in research, mentorship, and the classroom.
Segment 1: Researched Literacy TechniquesHi! I’m your host Emily, and welcome back to Beyond a Bedtime Story: A Parent’s Guide to Children’s Reading. In today’s episode, we will be discussing cool, engaging techniques that will be fun for your child. I will begin by describing those that I’ve researched, while the following sections will delve into anecdotes from practices that I’ve observed.
Teaching must consider the formation of phonological or phonemic awareness, when children “hear and manipulate the distinct sounds in spoken language” (Farkas 2000). In addition to establishing technicalities and building fundamentals, instruction focuses on the practice of decontextualized language: talking about ideas beyond the text that consider a non-present audience, background information, narrative, or explanation.
Welcome to segment two, we’re going to pick right back up and dive into the storytelling activities that I witnessed through mentorship and how they improved decontextualized language skills (comprehension of the text).
The final segment of the show will unpack intriguing sound techniques from the Kindergarten classrooms I observed that children really loved.
