Personal Research Journey


Personal Research Journey

 

The topic that I chose to focus on is identified as ways to promote early literacy in early childhood education. Installing early literacy skills is essential for the development of young children. I am interested in this topic because I believe that enhancing children early literacy skills will aid in closing the achievement gaps in the educational arena. I have seen children on both end of the spectrum, children who were exposed to early literacy and those who were not and I  have noticed a significant different in their success within the educational system.

I understand that the information from constructing the research chart will be beneficial for me as I gain an understanding of what is expected during the research process. The research chart will also help me understand the different terminology that is used during the research process.

  1. Hi Sheila,
    I am glad we will be following each other's blogs again in this class. Early literacy is such an important topic for early childhood educators. We have made an effort to have books in each of our learning centers so children see the connectin and value of the printed word in everything they do. I will be interested in following what your research uncovers!

  3. I think that this a great topic! Literacy is so important at the early childhood level. If our children can't read, how will they lead us in the future. It is also important not to just teach them to read but to teach them comprehension of what they read.

  4. Sheila,
    As a Head Start teacher, I agree that literacy is very important in early childhood education. We have several literacy projects in place to improve reading and comprehension skills. As a result, I am anxious to see how your research project develops.
