LITERACY
DEVELOPMENT
Emergent
Literacy
(early childhood)
Young children
begin learning how to read and write long before they enter
school. Teaching literacy in the early years should build on
this natural language learning.
Intermediate
Readers
(middle level reading)
Although most
students have developed effective reading strategies in the
lower grades, all students need continued reading instruction
to help them expand and refine their skills and strategies.
Reading
Across Content Areas (advanced)
Teachers who
expect their students to gain information about their content
through reading must be prepared to assist in the process by
providing appropriate reading strategies.

LITERACY
TECHNIQUES
Pre-Reading
Techniques
Students should be taught to begin thinking about their reading
even before they start to read a piece. Teachers can facilitate
their students’ comprehension by teaching them strategies
to activate their prior knowledge, to predict, and to build
their vocabulary.
Active
Reading Techniques
Teachers can model appropriate strategies to help readers develop
a purpose for reading, organize information as they read, and
connect new information with old.
Post-Reading
Techniques
Teachers should help your students develop a variety of strategies
to process and extend the meaning they created during the reading.

Acquisition: Theories & Practice
Whether or not teachers have backgrounds in the language and

to help them and their families feel welcome and to promote
learning.
