Literacy
Emergent literacy is the idea that
learning literacy actually begins at a
very early age, long before official
lessons in school.
Stages of Literacy Development
Step 1
From birth, infants listen to sounds of
speech and that of their native language.
Step 2
Fast mapping – is the child’s ability to
map the meaning of a new word onto a
referent after hearing the word used on
context just once.
Holophrase – is a single word used to
represent a phrase sentence; typical of
the first stage of language acquisition.
