Abstract: | Whether it be leaping, resisting, or being gently shoved, the field of early childhood education continues moving into the
age of accountability. Young children are expected to exhibit many requisite skills prior to kindergarten. Thus, the advancement
of pre-reading and writing skills development become one of the many areas of focus for early childhood teachers. This study
focused on the advancement of young children’s emergent literacy and letter recognition skills through developmentally appropriate
instruction and need based adapted activities using the Early Literacy and Learning Model (ELLM) curriculum. The results suggest
that mindfully adapting activities to children’s needs advances children’s emergent literacy development. |
