Dedication
I want to dedicate this album to my children. Thank you for being my rock and inspiration and letting me tag along with you on your many adventures. You have reminded me to look for the little wonders in life, as these wonders add to our stories and shape our experiences.
The author
I have always be facinated by stories from those found in books and those told by great story tellers. I have been on a journey with my Indigenous culture to learn and listen to the stories passed on and new stories of hope, these stories inspire me to reach out and share my wisdom with others. For me I love that stories can take me to various places and the opprotunites to get lost within my imagination.
Introduction
This album is a reflection of what developing literacy means to me. I am inviting readers to view the highlights of the weekly modules, particularly the content that has impacted my thinking and changed my perspective on the importance of multi-literacies and how it impacts positive learning experiences.
Backwards Design & Pedagogy
Traditional Planning
Traditional lesson planning >assessments are created after the classes are planned. >poor student engagement Backwards design >an approach to instructional planning that starts with the end goal, then works backward from there. >uses the Understanding by Design (UbD) framework (McTighe & Wiggins)

Definitions
Multi-literacies pedagogy " accepts and encorages a wide range of linguistic, cultural, communicative, and technological perspectives and tools being used to help students better prepare for a rapid changing, globalized world," (Cazden et al, 1996, pg. 66)
Communication: We begin to connect and communicate at birth through eye contact, touch, sounds and smells. We develop and expand as we grow, and young children enter school with significant language experiences. They have developed what they know about oral language by listening and communicating with others.

Watch
Educational literacy: The driving factor in all subjects. For students to learn effectively, they need to be able to access the learning. Educational literacy is more t han just being able to read, write and spell, it is about students being able to interpret, react, articulate and express their thoughts. (Loveless, 2022)

Sound and Symbol
Continuum of skills
Phonemic Awareness is the ability to hear, identify and manipulate the individual sounds that form words. (Ladev1, 2021) Phonological Awareness includes the Phonemic Awareness ability, but it also includes the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate larger units of sound such as rimes, onsets and syllables. (Ladev1, 2021)
Foundations of learning Early Learning for Every Child Today is a guide to support curriculum and pedagogy in Ontario’s early childhood settings.
Emergent/Early Readers
Literacy development not limited to a time of day. Literacy learning is incorporated throughout the day – it can be made visible, or explicit, to the children in any context, and can be observed by the educators at any time. (The Kindergarden Program, 2016, pg. 73)
Continuum of skills part 2
Effective Early Reading Instruction
Knowing how to instruct reading skills and strategies effectively can benefit learners' long-term reading. Educators that teach with evidence-based systematic and explicit instructional strategies will be better able to support students to become proficient and fluent readers.
Reading Fluency
Reading fluency is the ability to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression. This is important to reading as it gives understanding to the words.
Spelling and Writing
Similar to reading children need to spell with and use phonemic awareness and letter-sound relationships knowledge. The children that are able to decode words well are typically good spellers, while those that have a difficult time reading also have difficulty with spelling.
Early Effective Reading Instruction, 2022
Assessment
Making learning visable
How do we make learning visible, and what it's the purpose? Displaying children's work throughout the classroom for all to see is one way to make their learning visible. It is a part of assessments and a method for children to demonstrate pride in their work and form a sense of belonging within the group.
Types of documentation
Educators use various methods of assessment such as formative, summative, evaluation, and pedilogical documentation. To give insight to the students understanding and level of knowledge for skill development.
Is it all about the mindset?
Having a classroom that encourages and supports positive mindsets will benefits the success and growth of learners skill development
Remediation
Reading interventions
Reading intervention differs from reading remediation in noticing of someone who finds reading difficult, and helping them either on their own or in a small group of people with similar problems.
When & why
Remediation is used when reading levels of students do not match with the outcome of teaching. A remedial program is needed for slow and non reading students, with a supportive program student should be able to learn effective skills and strategies to make them confident readers.
Some strategies to try:
- Reading aloud
- phonics games (relationship between letters and sounds)
- Guided reading
- Patners reading
- Literacy centers
The science of reading
The science of reading consists of a collection of research from the teaching of the five big ideas of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. (The National Center for Improving Literacy, 2022)
The right to read
Right to read
From the findings in the executive summary: right to read one of the main results was children with dysleyia were not being met with their reading abilities from teachers. In fact children with dsylexia felt that they were being excluded from learning experiences.
The reading wars
The reading war is a difference of opinions regarding how reading should be taught for children to become successful readers. The correct form of instruction between phonic (letter-sound combinations that makeup words. and the whole language ( short, everyday words and sentences. To learn a new word, children look first at its context, its first letters, or at a relevant picture to figure it out) " was the debate. Teachers struggle to figure out the proper instruction method with no insight. (Education.com, 2009)
Balanced reading
The balanced literacy approach integrates reading, writing, and word study components. It aims to provide a balance of teacher-directed instruction , independent and small group opportunities. Teachers can include a variety of assessment, including checklists, work assessments, and even students’ personal opinions.
Technology in the early years
Keeping tech in check
Even though the evidence is showing us that technology can benefit and enrich the learning of children, the question remains how much is to much? If children are using technology at school should they be using it at home as well?
How to use technology
The use of technology is beneficial to the learning experiences of students; it can allow for opportunities to extend, enhance, and even capture learning experiences. . "Digital technologies provide one more outlet for them to demonstrate their creativity and learning" (NAEYC, 2012)
Social justice concerns
.As a result of COVID-19, the world shut down, including schools. However, the education system was trusted into online classrooms passing protection against inequalities through accessing instruction. This left many teachers and parents wondering what to do about those children that did not have the same opportunities as others in the school. Others in various sectors also felt this problem.
What do teacher think?
Play-based learning
Let's tame a dragon
TPlay-based learning is a child led and open ended form of play. This type of play is a focus in kindergarten and early childhood centers.
The power of play
Inquiry based learning
The power of play is a critical way for children to gather an understanding of the world around them. With play they are able to use all of their senses to understand their environment. Play is also a way for children to further develop and achieve their development and milestone skills.
Inconjuction with play-based learning within the kindergarden program is lnquriy learning. The form of learning allows students to ask questions and make sense of the new information to extend or enhance their understanding.
Is the wolf really so bad?
Why revisit books ?
Having children revist books over again is a good practice for readers. It helps with learning to read and provides a love for reading enjoyment. Students who voluntarily read responded with less negativity about reading than those required to read. (Starke, 2020) Practicing reading from the same book fosters motivation and collective engagement.
Critical literacy
Critical literacy is analyzing the relationship between language and text. Students are looking beyond its literal meaning to look for what is missing and to analyze and evaluate the texts projected meaning. The concern if for student to be able to look for areas related to fairness, equity, and social justice.
It's about perspective
Perspective is loking beyond your point of view and considering what someone else might be thinking or feeling. The understanding of others’ thoughts, feelings, motivations, and intentions would need to be considered for perspective to be meaningful.
