Question 1
Which one of the following strategies would NOT be an appropriate for working with a preschool child with a literacy delay?
◦ involve the child in lap reading, using favorite children's books or non-book reading materials
◦ encourage children to handle books, turn pages, and point to print and illustrations
◦ provide journals and pens for children to use at the science center
◦ present simple teacher-guided lessons focused on word recognition and phonics
Question 2
Which one of the following statements best captures current beliefs about literacy and play?
◦ Play can include literacy. Teachers should include reading and writing in play centers, such as the dramatic play area.
◦ Play and literacy are two stages of the same symbolic process. Teachers should gradually guide preschool children from play activities toward more reading and writing experiences.
◦ Play precedes literacy development. Play experiences should be offered well in advance of literacy experiences in the preschool classroom.
◦ Play and literacy are largely unrelated. Play is sociocultural and should be provided for all preschool children as a mode of self-expression. Writing is culture-specific and should be offered when it holds cultural meaning.
In pretend play, toy figures and animals “come to life” and interact with each other.
