RDG 420 Wk 2 – Summative Assessment: Language Learning and Literacy Presentation

Scenario: Your school district has asked you to develop a short presentation on the key components of cognitive development, language learning, and literacy. The presentation will be given at the district’s reading development training for all new elementary teachers. Remember that it is important for these teachers to understand current language acquisition and literacy theories, standards, and research, as well as how they might support primary readers’ experiential, cognitive, social, emotional, cultural, and linguistic development in their classrooms. New elementary teachers also need to understand the roles that sight words, the alphabet, and phonological awareness play as children transition from oral to written language.

 

Create a 12- to 15-slide presentation about language learning and literacy. Address the following components in your presentation:

  • List and describe at least 3 characteristics of highly effective literacy teachers.

  • Identify and describe the following principles:

  • Evidence of current language acquisition and literacy theories, standards, and research

  • Support for primary readers’ experiential, cognitive, social, emotional, cultural, and linguistic development

  • Meaningful classroom or at-home activities and interactions that influence children’s language acquisition and reading

  • The roles that sight words, the alphabet, and phonological awareness play in children’s transition from oral to written language

  • Support for the conversational and academic language development of English learners

  • Techniques used for differentiating reading instruction

  • Research and describe the following approaches to reading and writing instruction that are supported by the science of reading:

  • The Simple View of Reading

  • Scarborough’s Rope Model

  • Explicit and Systematic Phonics Instruction (Structured Literacy)

  • Include detailed speaker notes, a title slide, and a reference slide.

  • Cite your resources according to APA guidelines.

 

Consult this week’s textbook readings and additional resources found in the Week 2 Learning Activities as you develop your presentation.
