Part A:
Read the following scenario:
You are a newly appointed room leader for a pre-kindergarten class. In this room, you have 10 children aged from 3 to 4 years. Five out of ten students come from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds with the English language as either the second or third language spoken at home. Furthermore, two out of ten students have limited spoken English language.
Requirements:
Using the scenario presented, develop and evaluate a learning experience that could encourage and support children’s emergent reading comprehension. This should include:
- a definition of children’s emergent reading comprehension
- a description of the learning experience with links made to the Early Years Learning Framework or a relevant learning framework (e.g. Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework), and considerations made to include ICT
- identify and describe a teaching strategy within the learning experience that will support the development of children’s emergent reading comprehension
- identify and describe a teaching strategy to support children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
- an evaluation of the specific teaching strategies and tools to demonstrate how they can support and extend the children’s emergent reading comprehension.
You must justify your response and approaches by making links to a learning framework—such as the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), the Australian Curriculum or your relevant state/territory curriculum, scholarly sources and other relevant sources. All references must be cited using the APA style.
