Cambourne’s Conditions for Literacy Learning
• Immersion – Be a part of it.• Demonstration – Watch.• Engagement – Try it out!• Expectation – You can!• Responsibility – How will…?• Approximation – Great try!• Use – Let’s do it!• Response – I’m with you!
![Page 14: Making a Strong Home-School Connection: Supporting Literacy at Home](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168d9550346895ddfce8b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Immersion• Children need to be surrounded by interesting,
high-quality children’s books and different kinds of text (e.g. charts, labels, newspapers, magazines).
• Read aloud every day.• Sing to them.• Play word games with them.• Use movement and dance to generate
engagement in language, literacy, and stories.
![Page 15: Making a Strong Home-School Connection: Supporting Literacy at Home](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168d9550346895ddfce8b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Demonstration• Model reading and writing for children. • Let them see you writing notes,
letters, stories, recipes, and lists. • Make sure they notice you reading to
yourself, for pleasure, for information, for directions, and for other purposes.
• Show them how to hold a book, turn the pages, and read aloud.
![Page 16: Making a Strong Home-School Connection: Supporting Literacy at Home](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168d9550346895ddfce8b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Engagement• Help children become active
learners who see themselves as potential readers and writers.
• Set up a risk-free environment so they can experiment with language and literacy.
• Provide easy access to paper, pencils, crayons, markers, books, and other literacy materials.
![Page 17: Making a Strong Home-School Connection: Supporting Literacy at Home](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168d9550346895ddfce8b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Expectation• Set realistic expectations for
language and literacy development. • Become familiar with the
developmental stages of emergent literacy, and support children in appropriate tasks.
• Expect that they will become accomplished readers and writers in their own time.
![Page 18: Making a Strong Home-School Connection: Supporting Literacy at Home](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168d9550346895ddfce8b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Responsibility• Give children choices about
books to read. • Set up the environment to
promote self-direction. • Provide easy access to books and
literacy materials on low shelves and in baskets and show children how to take care of them.
![Page 19: Making a Strong Home-School Connection: Supporting Literacy at Home](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168d9550346895ddfce8b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Approximation• Accept children’s mistakes when
they are learning to talk, read, and write.
• Congratulate them on their accomplishments.
• Guide them gently into accuracy and soon they will begin to self-correct.
![Page 20: Making a Strong Home-School Connection: Supporting Literacy at Home](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168d9550346895ddfce8b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Use• Create a climate for functional
and meaningful uses of oral and written language.
• Encourage children to read along with you; help you write notes, letters, and lists.
• Engage in lots of conversations.
