| Abstract: | Best practices in emergent literacy instruction for young children acknowledge and facilitate the smooth progression between
children’s early engagement with print materials and subsequent fuller literacy mastery. In so doing, model programs target
five key emergent literacy skills. The rapid rise in the breadth and depth of educational technology, including computer software,
is offering early childhood education professionals new and powerful tools in teaching early literacy. This paper offers a
brief review of best practices in emergent literacy, notes the growth of technology in this instruction, and examines the
potential contributions of one specific software program, Clicker 5, in helping diverse emergent literacy learners acquire and practice initial reading and writing skills. |
