The goal of this coaching project is to support the installation and initial implementation of the Professional Learning Community: Emergent Literacy (PLC-EL; Kosanovich et al., 2020) in pre-kindergarten sites in South Carolina. PLC-EL was developed in response to requests from members of REL Southeast’s School Readiness Partnership, which sought to strengthen evidence-based literacy and language practices in preschool classrooms. The PLC-EL suite of materials includes four modules: Print Knowledge, Phonological Awareness, Vocabulary, and Oral Language.
The purpose of this project is to collaborate with early childhood educators to develop new curriculum materials that support accelerated language development among 2-to 3 -year -old children.
To better understand the skills associated with early word reading, Project FLEX will explore how set for variability, the ability to successfully problem solve inconsistent letter/sound relationships, and word reading develop together. Additionally, it will explore how well set for variability can be used as an identifier of risk for early word reading difficulties by examining how set for variability performance at the fall of kindergarten contributes to the prediction of word reading at the end of grade 1.
