Teacher Language Literacy Skills
I'm going to start to write right here and write from here to here. Print concept - directionality
So, the sentence we want to write is We went to the bakery. First, I will write the word We. Now I'll write the word went. Before I write the word went I need to move the marker over to leave a space and so forth. Print concept  spacing between words
Pause before writing bakery. Stretch out the word. Bbbbbbbakery. What letter is at the beginning of bakery? Alphabet knowledge  letter/sound relationship
Look I wrote a whole sentence How many words are in my sentence? Print concept  sentences are made up of words
The candidates may provide examples of equally as appropriate language and literacy skills. The facilitator will need to use her/his judgment.
