Overview: The purpose of this assignment is to observe emergent literacy in action. Reading is a social activity and young children enjoy engaging with a caregiver who is reading a book. In this activity, you will observe how a toddler responds to a book and interact with a preschooler who is supposed to listen quietly during one reading, and then engage during the second reading.
Required Length: Between 500-750 words, double-spaced, APA format
Procedures:
Read a book with two children: a toddler and a preschooler
Engage in a book reading with the toddler. Observe how the toddler interacts with you and with the book. What evidence of emergent literacy did you notice? For example, does the toddler watch you or look at the book? Does the toddler look at the words or the pictures? Does the toddler discuss anything in the book and expand on it.
Engage in a book reading with the preschooler. Read two storybooks (can be the same or different). The first time, require the preschooler to sit silently and attend, while you simply read the book. The second time, use dialogic reading techniques discussed in class; ask questions, invite input, and welcome comments.
Develop a report of your observation (see table below and refer to Rubric as needed)
Procedures: Reading with the toddler: Identify how the caregiver socializes and engages the child to build his/her use of language. Document each socialization strategy each caregiver used with their child.
Reading with the preschooler: Identify the child’s stage of development as described in the textbook and developmental charts, giving specific examples to support your conclusion. Comment about the development of the child as it relates to language and social interactions.
Describe similarities and differences in the reading with both children in terms of their abilities to engage the book. Compare and contrast how the pre-schooler reacted differently to listening quietly to engaging interactively.
Develop a report of your observation in APA format: Including a Title page, Abstract, Main Body, and Reference

Discussion Forum # 2
Chapter 12: Learning About Who Makes Up a Family and Fairness
Chapter 12 addresses all variations of family structures. The author begins by sharing statistics emphasizing that 50% of children in the United States will have experienced their parent’s separation, and half of them will witness a second marriage breakup during their lifetime, which may result in children most likely living in single-parent homes, blended families, grandparent’s homes, etc. Although families come from a variety of family structures, the author mentions it does not reveal the way a family may function. Biases are usually generated according to family structures; however, it is important to keep in mind that in all families, love, joy, harmony, and discord are present.
In this discussion, you will reflect on what has been told to you in regard to family structures. You will analyze a common term society uses, and finally, you will share how you would support a child’s feelings of having two moms and two dads.
Instructions
Do you think that using the term “Broken Families” when referring to single families, transnational families, and blended families is the correct term to use? Why or why not?
