Emergent Literacy and BiliteracyMaria Clay (1967)It is used to describe how children go through a

long and gradual process of becoming literate. Emergent literacy challenges the view that children acquire knowledge about reading and writing only through formal literacy instruction.

Children gain important literacy prerequisites by observing others who take part in literacy activities and by participating in informal literacy events themselves (Justice & Kaderavek, 2002). Emergent literacy theorists and researchers have demonstrated with data that children are becoming literate as infants from their first exposure to print.

What to learn?They learn through their relationships with

literate others about how to hold a book, how to read from left to right, how speech and print are related, and how to get meaning from letters and

words instead of pictures.
