How to deliver successful story reading/telling while

maintaining compliance with early literacy objectives

Prepared and Presented by Tr. Snow @ Kyi Hnin Khaing


General knowledge, acquired over time from books, schools, media, and
conversations, is highly valuable in education, as emphasized by
Willingham (2006) based on cognitive science research.

• Those with a rich base of factual knowledge find it easier to learn more—the
rich get richer. In addition, factual knowledge enhances cognitive processes like
problem solving and reasoning. The richer the knowledge base, the more
smoothly and effectively these cognitive processes—the very ones that teachers
target—operate. So, the more knowledge students accumulate, the smarter
they become. (p. 30)
Preschoolers’ Reading Behaviors
• Holds book right sight up

• Starts with first page

• Turns pages right-to-left without skipping

• Does pretend reading

• Labels objects in pictures

• Treats each page as a separate unit

• Retells story by naming the pictures

• Retells story through memorization

• Recognizes that the print tells the story

• Does finger-print reading of some words


Young Learners' Perspective:

• Limited exposure to picture books.

• Learn through observation and teacher guidance.

• Common misconception: Pictures, not text, tell the story.

• Print awareness naturally develops with literacy activities and extensive book reading.
What is Print Awareness?
Understanding print organization.
Also called "print concepts" or "concepts of print."
Children in pre-k exhibit print awareness by:
• Identifying print or words in their surroundings.
• Understanding print conveys meaning.
• Pointing to and naming book elements: front cover, back cover, pages, spine.
• Tracing words from left to right with a finger.
• Turning book pages in proper order.
• Recognizing words are composed of letters.

Storytelling
Storytelling offers a distinct experience.
• Children can interpret and implement their own creativity.
• Both storyteller and child focus on each other, not just the
printed material.
• Stories can be personal, fiction, non-fiction, or educational.
• The key is enjoyment and connection.
• Children bring their imagination, potentially reshaping the
story.
• Storytelling is your time to share experiences, creativity, and
values with your child.
