La. Admin. Code tit. 28 § CLIX-405
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
Section CLIX-405 - ReadingA. Reading begins long before children can pick up a book and read it to you. When a baby turns his or her head to the sound of a parent's voice, he/she is beginning to pay attention to language, language that will later be read from print. As children grow, their literacy related behaviors grow and change as well. Behaviors that foreshadow independent reading begin very early. For example, babies as young as 7-10 months may coo and babble while pointing at pictures in a book-this is a sign that they are interested in the book.B. As children move into the toddler or early preschool years, other reading-like behaviors begin to development. These behaviors may include pretending to read or "reading" environmental print, such as a logo that they are familiar with. Later, the child may "read" a book by re-telling a familiar story and, especially as he or she approaches preschool age, may sit for longer periods of time and pretend to read a book independently. This is an exciting sign that he or she is beginning to understand what reading is about. It is a step forward on the road to literacy.La. Admin. Code tit. 28, § CLIX-405
