The Chinese writing system uses a logographic orthography, in which each Chinese character smallest language represents a morpheme and a syllable linguistics in a (Hoosain, 1991). A stroke is the basic orthographic unit that makes up a Chinese character. Morphological Awareness in Chinese In 貨⾞ Morphological awareness, defined as the “awareness of morphemic structure of words and their ability to reflect on and manipulate that structure has an important impact on children’s literacy development” (Carlisle, 1995, p.194). The Chinese writing system is morphosyllabic and each character usually has a one-to-one correspondence of morpheme to syllable, in both oral language and in print. E.g., the word “貨車”/fo3 ce1/(cargo vehicle), each of the two morphemes corresponds to one syllable (/fo3/and /ce1/), respectively, as well as to a morpheme in written form (貨/fo3/ and 車/ce1/).

Emergent literacy Emergent literacy Emergent literacy, a phrase first used by Marie Clay (1966), assumes that the child acquires some knowledge about language, reading and writing before coming to school. Emergent literacy behaviors refer to the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that young children develop before they formally learn to read and write. Emergent literacy behaviors These behaviors are the foundation for later literacy development and often occur naturally as children engage with their environment. These behaviors typically develop through interactions with caregivers, teachers, and peers in literacy-rich environments, such as reading books, singing songs, and engaging in storytelling. Signs of emergent literacy in preschoolers (Otto, 2019) 1. Awareness of sound patterns and individual sounds in words Rhyming game with singing and movement Preschoolers‘ phonological awareness is evident when they engage in spontaneous word play or rhyming. E.g., spontaneous rhyming chants, such as “fan, man, ran, pan, tan” shows that they are engaged in sound play. Signs of emergent literacy in preschoolers (Otto, 2019) 2. Associating sounds with letters of alphabet An example from (Otto, 2019) Preschool children are beginning to associate Mom: T is for? (pause) letter T with sounds with letters ( Mesmer & Williams, sound [t] 2015). Glynnis: Turtle and toast! Glynnis ( age 3 years) and her mum are sharing an alphabet book (Otto, 1994, 1996). This interaction shows two segments where Segment 2 Glynnis is beginning to associate beginning Mom: That’s a yak. What’s he sounds in words with letters of the alphabet. eating?

ØE.g., one mother purposefully substituted different nouns for parts of a story reported that her son (3 years, 3 months) stopped her and said , “You are giving wrong words.” Signs of emergent literacy in preschoolers (Otto, 2019) 3. Developing a concept of how to read Children gradually begin to focus more on the print or text as what is “read” rather than the illustrations. Children may point to the print when attempting to figure out environmental print ( Haussler, 1985). EGM stands for Macdonalds Group Task 2 These emergent literacy behaviors do not develop in isolation, instead this development occurs in contexts in homes and in ECE settings.
