I just spent a terrific hour talking with J. Renee Gordon of the BlogRadio show,
Empowering Educators.
We talked about
- the importance of early childhood learning in both preschools/child care centers and at home
- what is essential for kindergarten readiness (and partnerhips that foster that) and
- placed a special focus on literacy for children ages 3-6.
Read on to find information both for those of you that joined us live on the show and those who want to listen to the podcast later.
Findings of The National Early Literacy Panel (2009)
Six early skills predictive of later literacy achievement
1. Alphabet knowledge
2. Phonological awareness
3. Rapid automatic naming of letters or digits
4. Rapid automatic naming of objects or colors
5. Writing or writing name
6. Phonological memory
Five early skills modernately predictive of later literacy achievement
1. Concept of print
2. Print knowledge
3. Reading readiness (usually a combination of alphabet knowledge, concepts of print, vocabulary, memory and PA)
4. Oral language
5. Visual processing
In studies conducted by Hart and Risley (1995) showed that three-year-old children of professional parents had larger vocabularies than children of parents on welfare. This finding is less shocking when considered in light of another: children in professional homes heard 382 words an hour while children raised in welfare homes heard an average of 167 words an hour. There can be a gap of as much as five times greater in vocabulary between these two groups.
On average, according to the American Association of Pediatrics, preschool children watched 2.6 hours of TV on weekdays and 2.7 hours on weekends. This association, however, recommends that children under 2 years old watch little or no TV.

For Christmas Ava received a red wagon. Kris was very insistent that this was going to be her big gift this year. It was so sweet watching him assemble it on Christmas Eve and attach a big red bow. I think he was more excited than anyone else this year. Ava was thrilled with her gift (which only added to her daddy's excitement). She wanted to sit in her wagon to open all her other gifts and then all day we took turns pulling her around the house. Fortunately the day after Christmas was beautiful - warm like a late Spring day. We were able to get outside for a walk and to play with Ava's new red wagon.
As we were walking through the neighborhood a favorite
storytime song popped into my head - Little Red Wagon. We love the
Wiggleworms CDs! Lots of great songs to get you moving and that is so important with a toddler running around. Music is an excellent way to help get your child Ready to Read prompting
Phonological Awareness. So during the winter months we can
pretend we are riding in Ava's wagon by singing along!
Just for fun! Here is a link to a video of a different version that works really well with older children.
Little Red Wagon.
Beautiful! We sing the wagon song a lot, even to this day, although the version we had on recording (cassette tape - remember those?) was done by Raffi.
thanks for the new ear worm . . .
Simon's gonna fix it with his hammer,
Won'tcha be my darlin?
So cute! Look how big she is getting. I can't believe it. And to think we haven't gotten our two girlies together. Shame on us! Let's make a deal and get them together come August when we are back in Ohio!
p.s. nice job with the new camera ;)
