Development Word Knowledge-Orthographic Knowledge Stages
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Eric Carle is a picture book that illustrates nine animals with different colors, and all the animals represent different letters. As such, the book will effectively teach and engage learners by exposing them to letters and sounds. Brown Bear’s book “What Do You See” was used to teach the learners effectively. I will introduce the topic letters and sound recognition to the learners and ask them which letters they know as I write. After that, I will also ask them which animals they know as I write on the board. Once they have highlighted the animals, I will take the “Brown, Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See” book and show the learners the different animal pictures presented on every page as I ask them to identify or name the animal they see on the picture. I will then write down the names of the animals they can identify and help them identify the ones they do not know.
Consistently, after showing them the animal pictures from the first to the last page. I will ask the learners to listen keenly as I read the book. I will begin reading the book and identify each animal as I write down the letter. I will also use a tip card to show the letter. For example, the first page begins with the animal bear, representing the letter “b.” I will also have a tip card of the same letter in the same color as the bear (Carle 1). I will then ask the learners to pronounce the letter and read it. We will also try to identify other words that begin with the same letter as in the book, for example, brown. The same procedure will be used to identify all the letters presented in the picture book as well as the colors of the animals.
After identifying all the letters, words, and sounds, I will divide the learners into four groups. Distribute tip cards for each child in the group; pin the picture of all the animals identified in the book with their exact colors on the board. I will then ask each learner in the group to use the tip cards from their groups to match them to the correct animal picture whose first letter begins with the first letter on the tip card. Bear affirms that the hand-painted plus layered collage strategy appeals to pre-schoolers and toddlers. Additionally, giving the animals such a textured appearance makes them more visible and is likely to appeal to learners; hence, they would recognize sounds and words fast enough (p.18).

Question 
This chapter explains the orthographic knowledge stages. It is important to know the developmental stages of a child before teaching. Each child grows and develops at different stages. The brain develops at different levels also. Not all children will be on the same level at the same time. This is especially true during PreK and Kindergarten.

Read this chapter. Make your notecards in a Word file for all the Teaching Tips in the teal-colored text boxes throughout each chapter. Remember, you will be graded on these and will be counted off for each tip that is not included. You will be glad you kept these teaching tips later. You will NOT submit the teaching tips each week. You will submit them at the end of the semester. Be sure to number each tip in numerical order.
Your assignment is to choose a book that you could read to a 3-4-year-old child that promotes the development of word knowledge. Describe in detail how you would read the book and engage children so that the children could be exposed to letters and words. Submit this is a Word document under “Start Assignment”.
