
According to Multiple Paths to Literacy by J. Gipe,
she is in the pre-phonemic stage (186).
 She
“needs to learn to represent sounds.”
 encourage
invented spellings
 dialog journaling
 Language Experience Approach (LEA)
 rhyming books or/and predictable books
 A quote from Multiple Paths to Literacy states, “Children who
have had few experiences with language will need explicit
instruction in all aspects of literacy development (145).”

In Words Their Way by D. Bear, M. Invernizzi, S.
Templeton and F. Johnston, Mackenzie is considered
to be in the middle emergent stage because she
does not have phonemic awareness or letter sound
correspondence.
 This
book recommends that she sees and practices
writing.
 sentence
strips with familiar jingles or rhymes
 sorting objects, pictures and words by beginning sounds
