During this presentation, Emily will discuss the essential components of Early Literacy Instruction: oral language, vocabulary, phoneme awareness, and alphabetic knowledge. Emily will provide examples of how to build early reading skills in ways that are fun and engaging for little ones.
About the presenter:
Emily Moorhead is a teacher with the Limestone District School Board, in Kingston, Ontario. She has been teaching early primary children for seventeen years. When her own child showed signs of difficulty in learning to read, she recognized that, like her son, there were consistently children who were leaving kindergarten unprepared for reading success in Grade One. Emily became deeply engaged in her own learning and teaching practices to ensure that every child was given the tools to become a successful reader.
