Early Literacy Learning Domain: Written Language

2.     Written Language

Target: To motivate children’s interest in connecting animals to their foods.

Explanation: Written language is another important skill that needs to be developed especially for young children because it helps them function’s in the community, in school, etc. Although 4 to 5 years old may not write any words but scribbling is actually writing and even making lines and connecting dots. For children all of those have meanings and are considered as part of their early literacy. The activity I designed to enhance this skill is about connecting farm animals to their foods.

Activity: Farm animal's dinner

I will provide a stencil with the pictures of farm animals and its food in random orders. I will ask the students to connect lines from the animal to its food and color.
