Module 1 Lesson 3

Early literacy
instruction: How do
we teach?
by: Rubylyn A. Renegado
 Getting Started
Have you implemented some changes in
your lesson plans based on your
deeper understanding of the 14 domains
of literacy? Can any of you share an
activity that you did in class which
targeted two or more literacy domains at
once?
 Getting Started
Today we will discuss
some key principles and
approaches to developing
literacy skills in young
children.
 Small Group Discussion
For this discussion, please group yourselves
by grade level OR by learning area, depending
on the class that you observed.
For example, those who reflected on or
observed Filipino classes can form one group.
In your small group, you should take turns
sharing your assignment output. For each of
the six questions listed in the assignment, the
group should tally the “Yes” answers and “No”
answers.
 Small Group Discussion
Based on the assignments shared, the teachers
should discuss the following:
• Which activities of the six mentioned in the
assignment are the most common within your small
group? Which activities are less common? Why do you
think this is the case?
• Discuss specific examples of each of the six activities
that you plan to
implement in your next class, based on what you have
learned from
your colleagues.
• Share insights that you have gained from completing
this assignment.
 Big Group Discussion
The group representative will
share which of those activities
listed in the assignment were
common to all or most in their
group, and
which activities were less
common.

frequently observed in
younger or older grade levels, or in specific learning
areas? What are the implications of this?

3. Which of the less common activities do you plan to

 Next Lesson Introduction
Next week we will be starting
Module 2. In the first lesson of
Module 2 we will
get to know different types of
children’s literature and why we
should use them
in class.
 Next Lesson Introduction
The courseware will introduce some
locally published children’s books. It
would be best to go to the nearest
library hub or bookstore to browse/read
the books introduced, or get acquainted
with other books that you can use in
class and in accomplishing lesson
activities. If possible, bring a copy of
the children’s books that you have read
to the next LAC session.
 Next Lesson Introduction
The assignment for Module 2
Lesson 1 requires you to evaluate
a story book. A specific title is
assigned for each grade level.
Make sure to get a copy of the
story book assigned to your
grade level.
 Next Lesson Introduction
Aside from the story book in
the list, you can bring to our
next LAC session another story
book that you have used or are
planning to use in your class.
