I know from personal experience with my own daughter that phonological awareness can be the hidden culprit to reading difficulties. It’s so important, even at the preschool level, we are aware of our students’ abilities and can provide intervention and extra practice when needed! Read my latest blog for some of my favorite tips children struggle with phonological awareness. https://lnkd.in/enjB5cdX

Here is another ECE fundamental: scanning while supervising. School is a busy place and teachers have to juggle tasks and where to put their attention at all times. Even when I am with a small group of children I make sure to always have my head on a swivel to scan my surroundings. Reading a book? Make sure you regularly look up from the pages and scan your area. Facilitating an activity? Make sure you are scanning your area as well. Having the habit of scanning your area while supervising will keep you attuned to the bigger picture. This will minimize social conflicts getting out of hand and help you to identitify risky play scenarios before they get too risky, for example. I simply tell the children why I’m doing this if they notice. “My job is to keep an eye on everything so I can help if needed.” Do you do this? #ece #preschool #ChildDevelopment #TeacherDevelopment

If you are a teacher in a nursery or kindergarten and you face the problem of a child biting other children, how do you react? What makes you consider that there is a problem and not an occasional behavior? In such a case, what determines that the behavior is a problem and not a symptom is the severity and repetition, meaning whether the biting behavior is always repeated, is it actually harmful to other children, and what is the trigger that causes the child to engage in such behavior. In the event that this behavior is repeated every day more than once and harms other children, here we need to build a plan to modify the behavior. We will choose the appropriate reinforcers to reduce this behavior, but before that, the appropriate method must be chosen to inform the parents so that joint cooperation can take place between the teacher and the parents to modify the behavior.
