Listening & Speaking (Vocabulary)
Skill 1
•
Vocabulary, knowing the names of things, is an
extremely important skill for children to have when
they are learning to read.
•
Most children enter school knowing between 3,000
and 5,000 words.
•
Children’s vocabulary is helped by reading a
variety of books, both fiction and nonfiction, and by
naming all the objects.

Listening (Vocabulary)
The body of words that a person recognizes
and understands well enough to comprehend
them when read or heard. You understand it
when others use it.
Using “show me where” and giving short
directions.
Listening (Vocabulary)
• At 12 months, understands 50 words; at 15 months, 120 words; at
16 months, 170 words; at 18 months, 200 or more words.
• Between 12 and 15 months, acquires about one word every other
day. During a "spurt" between 16 and 23 months, children typically
acquire one or two words per day.
• At 12-14 months, learns words when adults name objects that are
nearby or in hand. By 14 or 15 months, points to objects further
away for adults to name.
Vocabulary words include many nouns (names of things), some
verbs (e.g., kiss, kick, open, sleep), some descriptive words (e.g.,
cold, full, all gone, broken), some pronouns (e.g., he, me, mine)
and some location words (e.g., down, in).

Skill 2
Print Motivation
•
Print Motivation is a child's interest in and
enjoyment of books. A child with print motivation
enjoys being read to, plays with books, pretends to
write, asks to be read to and likes trips to the
library.
•
Encourage print motivation by making shared book
reading a special time, keeping books accessible,
and letting them see that you enjoy reading.
Explain how you use reading and writing in
everyday life.

Print Motivation: Patron Questionnaire
•
Questions to include aspects of each of the
six skills and the Print Motivation skill.
•
A sampling of parents will be surveyed
over the summer.
Early Literacy Library Patron Questionnaire
Does the child have an -interest in books? -enjoyment of books?
Does the child enjoy -being read to? -playing with books?
Does the child -pretend to write? ask to be read to? like trips to the
library? select books to check out on their own?
Does the child -Have reading time at home? Have their own book
collection at home? Like reading to you?
Increase in vocabulary -Rhyming words? demonstrate the correct way to
read – holds book right-side up, points at beginning of sentence? name
objects in the book? “read” to a parent or sibling?
Skill 3
Print Awareness
•
Print Awareness includes learning that writing in
English follows basic rules such as flowing from
top-to-bottom and left-to-right, and that the print
on the page is what is being read by someone
who knows how to read.
•
Print awareness can be encouraged by pointing
out and reading words.

Point to Name/Title of the story. Talk about the writer and illustrator
Direct which way to read, from left to right
Point to where to start reading, the first word in a sentence
Sweep back to the next line
Point to each word as read
Talk about punctuation at the end of a sentence
Skill 4
Narrative Skills
•
Narrative Skills, being able to understand and
tell stories, and describe things, are important
for children being able to understand what they
are learning to read.
•
Strengthen narrative skills by asking children to
tell you about the book, instead of just listening
to you read the story.
http://www.multcolib.org/birthtosix/
Narrative skills = Comprehension
• Narrative skills are the ability to describe things and events and tell stories.
• Narrative skills are important for children to be able to understand what they are
learning to read.
• Being able to talk about and explain what happens in a story helps a child
understand the meaning of what he or she is reading. Good narrative skills lead to
good reading comprehension.
• Name things (real objects and pictures in books) as you go through the day. Use
songs and nursery rhymes.
• Narrate life. Explain them in simple terms: For example, say “First we‘ll buy this
pancake mix, then we’ll go home and then we’ll make pancakes.” This helps children
understand that stories have a BEGINNING, MIDDLE and END.
Narrative Skills Checklist
Narrative Skills
Babies – Librarian names objects (real objects - body parts and picture objects - animals)
Toddlers – Librarian recites life narration (getting dressed, body parts)
Pre-school – children retell the story (questions: how did the story start, what happened next, how did it end)
Pre-school – children descriptive retelling using art to go into story details
School age – children give story prediction through questions
School age – children give story retelling using props, acting, puppets and art
Alphabet (Letter) Knowledge
Skill 5
• Letter Knowledge includes learning that letters have
names and are different from each other, and that
specific sounds go with specific letters. An example of
letter knowledge is a child's ability to tell the name of
the letter B and what sound it makes.
• Letter knowledge can be developed by using a variety
of fun reading or writing activities, like pointing out and
naming letters in alphabet books, picture books, or on
signs and labels. For babies, talk about the shape of
things, and for preschoolers, try drawing letters and
pictures in the sand.

Word Sound (Phonological) Awareness
Skill 6
•
Phonological Awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate the
smaller sounds in words.
•
Phonological awareness includes the ability to hear and create
rhymes, to say words with sounds or chunks left out and the ability to
put two word chunks together to make a word. Most children who have
difficulty in reading have trouble in phonological awareness.
•
Strengthen phonological awareness by playing fun word games: Make
up silly words by changing the first sound in a word: milk, nilk, pilk, rilk,
filk.
•
Say words with a pause between the syllables (c-at, m-op).
•
Read stories of poems with rhymes or different sounds.
