· For this week the reading I chose to read
that was related to literacy in Early childhood was Talk to me, baby! Supporting language development in the first 3 years
(Bardige & Bardige, 2008). I chose to look at this reading as I wanted to
see how early language development can be supported for infants and toddlers. I
haven’t worked with infants and toddlers yet and so I thought this reading
would be interesting to read about younger children’s learning development.
· The reading I chose to look at that was
related to numeracy was Measurement of
Kindergartners' Understanding of Early Mathematical Concepts (VanDerHeyden,
Broussard, Snyder, George, Lafleur & Williams, 2011). I chose this reading
as I wanted to look at how children in kindergarten understand early
mathematical concepts and the types of concepts that they understand. I am very
interested in how children this age do learn so I wanted to get some ideas for
myself on how I can teach numeracy at this age level as well.
