Child Development Research
Key Findings:How young children feel is as
important as how they think, particularly with regard to school readiness.
Emotional development occurs on a parallel path to early literacy development in the context of positive relationships.Source: From Neurons to Neighborhoods: The Science of Early
Childhood Development

Language, Literacy, and Social- Emotional Development
Hearing words allows a baby to self regulate.
Saying words allows a toddler to self regulate.
Expressing ideas helps a preschooler to self regulate.

What is Emergent Literacy?
The Emergent Literacy perspective emphasizes the gradual acquisition of literacy via formal and informal mechanisms from infancy to school age.
Literacy develops along a continuum, ranging from pre-reading to reading skills.

How are they interrelated?
“…We have found that emotional and intellectual development cannot be separated; that these two functions come together as the child actively explores the emotional, social, and cognitive challenges at each of these stages.”
Stanley Greenspan, M.D.

Social-Emotional Development: A Pathway to Successful Reading
Children are more likely to learn important cognitive skills when they:
are confident; can persist at tasks; and can engage in interactions with other children and adults.

Oral Language
Children learn new words by hearing them read (receptive vocabulary).
When an adult explains the word to the child he/she begins to internalize the meaning and will use the word in his/her speech (expressive vocabulary).

Quality of WordsThe kinds of words that children
hear are important:Rare words, sustained conversationComplexity of sentence structure
The tone of the words that children hear is important.

Second Language Learners
The quality of the interaction, not the language of the interaction, promotes very young children’s interest and ability to communicate in meaningful ways.
A strong foundation in language and lots of exposure to literacy activities is the key to ensuring all children are ready for school.

Phonological Awareness
Is the ability to distinguish between units of sound or to identify rhyming words.
Songs, rhyming games, and word play support children’s phonological development.
These activities also support children’s social-emotional development.

Reading Aloud
“The single most important activity for building [literacy] understandings and skills essential for reading success appears to be reading aloud to children.”

Reading Aloud
Reading aloud builds children’s literacy skills when children are engaged in the activity.
Children who are more engaged during reading aloud are more motivated to read and have better literacy skills.

Reading Aloud
Children are also more engaged when they have a positive relationship with the adult who is reading to them.

Storytelling
Storytelling offers an opportunity to support children’s social-emotional development by building self-esteem and giving legitimacy to cultural practices and traditions.
Children’s understanding of storytelling contributes to their vocabulary development and understanding of story forms (beginning, middle, end).

Recommendations
We should not debate the relative importance of language/literacy development and social-emotional development.
They are interdependent and interrelated such that it is not possible to focus on one without focusing on the other.
Our focus should be on learning opportunities that integrate social-emotional and language and literacy development.
