Digital Resource for Early Literacy Skills

The digital resource assesses phonological awareness skills like rhyming and syllables based on the Australian Curriculum. It incorporates interactive activities to develop oral language, phonological awareness, and literacy for both visual and auditory learners. The assessments capture data on outcomes like recognizing rhyming words, syllables, and single syllable words. Consideration of students' cultural and linguistic differences is important for proper assessment and instruction to avoid misinterpretation or academic failure.

Appropriate assessment undertaken with the child based on your digital resource

and which skill/s is/are being developed?


Teachers are reliable in extending and developing each students oral
language, phonological awareness and an understanding of the functions of literacy
(Hill, 2006). The appropriate year level assessment associated with this resource has
incorporated elements of the Australian Curriculum - English: Foundation Year as
well as taking into account research that suggests Phonological Awareness is the base
work for early literacy learning (Queensland Government, 2014). Phonological
Awareness is the foundation of letter-sound relationships and is said to be best learnt
through: playing with rhymes/rhyming sounds and segmenting spoken words into
syllables, which have both been used in the digital resource (Queensland
Government, 2014). This digital resource was created not only for visual learners but
also auditory learners as students awareness to sounds is a prerequisite for aiding
students in learning to read (Speech Net, 2016).
The digital resources and interactive activities both were built upon the basis
of the Australian Curriculum focusing on the fundamental skills of rhyming and
syllables but also incorporating the use of IT and the developing understanding of
recognising that texts are made up of words and word groups (Australian Curriculum
Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA], 2013). The captured data relates to a
variety of assessable outcomes in the curriculum as students will be showing an
understanding of recognising rhyming words and syllables in spoken/written words,
demonstrating an understanding of single syllable words and showing comprehension
skills by understanding the task that has been asked. All of these learning areas have
the capacity to provide appropriate assessment within the digital resource.

It is vital to consider students cultural or linguistic differences when


determining assessment or instructional activities as it could result in constant
misinterpretation or worst case scenario academic failure if not examined efficiently
(Terry & Irving, 2010). E-books are wonderful resources to ensure cultural and
linguistic student inclusion within the classroom (Shuker & Terreni, 2013).
