Conclusion Language acquisition with phonemic awareness correlates to learning to read, plus it is an accurate predictor of reading success. Through phonological and phonemic awareness activities, involving direct instruction, incidental occasions, and literature-based activities, a balanced literacy to phonics instruction can be achieved (Bowman & Treiman, 2004)
Moreover, literacy skill development in early childhood provides the foundation for children's long-term academic success. Over the past two decades, researchers have identified key emergent literacy skills that develop progressively in children during their preschool years and are highly predictive of later success in learning to read (Elish-Piper, 2011)
Preconference In collaboration with another colleague, much emphasis was placed on the importance of a direct correlation between phonological awareness and phonemic awareness. Phonological awareness refers to all sound features in spoken language, including the ability to separate spoken sentences into individual words and to separate spoken words into syllables (Savage, 2007)
Deficits in early reading skills at the beginning of kindergarten tend to remain, or even increase, through elementary school, creating a continuously widening gap between children who have good literacy skills and those who do. Unfortunately, children who enter kindergarten with limited literacy and language skills rarely catch up and are at high risk of being referred for special education services (Stover, 2011)
However, it is both true and highly problematic that high-stakes testing and test preparation has deprived kindergartners of the benefits of play. This reduction of time spent just playing (which is, surely, the most important task of early childhood) not only affects the overall development of the child but (according to a wealth of recent research) but in particular affects young children's literacy development: "research suggests that children's creative engagement with reading and writing activities through play has important implications for their literacy development" (Anderson & Stokes, 1984; Isenberg & Jacob, 1983; Jacob, 1984; Pellegrini, 1985; Roskos, 1988)
When I looked at Kindergarten students play, I have noticed they conform to objects observed in reality, not in the abstract. This aligns with Piaget's theory, "children engage in the type of play that matches their level of cognitive development (Piaget, 1962)
From the beginning, the "learning cycle" is honored so, students can "make their own discoveries, stressing the process of science as a way of learning." (Reinhardt, 2004) The teacher distributes some pollution case studies and proceeds to read them with the students following
S. performs poorly when compared with other major economies on the issue of financial literacy (Lusardi, 2013), and this puts America at a competitive disadvantage -- note that countries with high savings rates can still grow quickly, like in China, because they have the flexibility to add more consumer spending if need be
The level of financial literacy is very low in America. In a 2012 study, a survey of adults was asked five questions and 61% scored three or lower -- and they were not complex questions (Malcolm, 2013)

All of the articles make the point that in order to have high quality education there must be new and fresh ideas. These trends have pushed for solid evidence of the result of high-quality early education on children's later academic accomplishment has shaped a sturdy push for early learning standards and valuations that border with K-12 education (Agnew, 2005)
The article is misleading because it makes it appear as though all school have all the proper tools they need when it comes to assessments and that simply is not true. (Boudreau, (2005) in his article evaluate the use of a parent questionnaire in the assessment of developing and early literacy skills of preschool children with language damages and states that all schools have this privilage and that they are equally succesful in the school
Consider, for instance, readiness trends in screening for kindergarten. Its envisioned drive is to "flag" children who might need more help and additional analysis upon going to school (Hourcade, 2006)
Its envisioned drive is to "flag" children who might need more help and additional analysis upon going to school (Hourcade, 2006). Yet according to the six articles it does occur, regrettably, that screening evidence can be distorted to judge children "ill-equipped" for kindergarten or to put them in curriculums without follow-through valuation (Manning, 2005)
Recording results and showing getting better in children's literacy achievement in the early grades depends on quality assessment data from preschool through grade 3. According to (Roskos, 2004 & Hourcade, 2006) the need for "good" trends assessment data is growing at a fast pace
S. state and federal currency is connected to suggestion of the scientific research foundation in programs and assessments of program effectiveness (Teale, 2009)
The nurse is often the person to whim the patient goes when there are questions related to intake forms, insurance, or specific care issues like wound dressings or nutrition when the physician is unavailable. "Nurses have a professional and ethical obligation to communicate in a clear, purposeful way that addresses the unique information needs of each patient," (Speros, 2011, p
There are certain skills that preschoolers need to be able to develop and have honed before they even enter kindergarten. For instance, children need to be able to retell a basic story, recognize certain letters of the alphabet and other skills so that they can start off the year strong (Golembeski, 2013)
A child who sees his mother constantly on the phone will no doubt mimic that behavior, if only in play. (Bryant, 244, 1990) However, a lack of a strong interest in reading is not necessarily a sign of an inability to read, or an out and out aversion to reading
Children who claim to expend less effort in televiewing and whose orientation toward it is generally less serious, choose somewhat more demanding reading materials. (Manley-Casimir, 24, 1987) Furthermore, the effects of television on a child's ability to read seem to change with age, and according to different populations
