Parten’s Pattern of Play
Onlooker play: the child observes others playing
Solitary play: the child participates in a different
activity without the involvement of others.
(Black & Puckett, 2005, p. 367).

More Play Patterns
Parallel play: the child plays in a like activity without the
involvement of others
Associative play: the child plays, talks about the
activity, but does not allow other play goals to
override his goals
(Black & Puckett, 2005, p. 367).

Play Patterns

Field Trip!!
1. Go to our class Wikispace and click on Unit 82. Watch the video on Piaget’s Preoperational Stage
– What was interesting about the reaction of the child?
3. Now click on the article, Cognitive Development in the PreSchool Years– What are some implications for us as we design educational
environments for this children as we think about the 6 critical concepts mentioned in the article?
4. Read the article on Cognitive Development at the bottom of the page. – Would this information be useful to parents? How might you share
with them?

Phonemic Awareness
Phonemic awareness: individual sounds are used to
create words
Phonemes: children can be taught to listen for sounds in
words and that words are made up of the smallest parts
of sound.
Phonics: understanding relationships between sound and
written letters
(U.S. Department of Education, 2007).
11
Sounds make words
Children need to be taught the sounds individual printed
letters and groups of letters make.
Knowing the relationships between letters and sounds
helps children to recognize familiar words accurately and
automatically, and “decode” new words
(U.S. Department of Education, 2007).
12
Vocabulary and Comprehension
Vocabulary development: teach children the meaning of words and how they are pronounced.
Build on the child’s understanding of the written or spoken words.
Teach children how to use the words that they know. Comprehension strategies: teach children to remember
what they have read or heard read to them.
(U.S. Department of Education, 2007).
13
Theorists
Piaget: Hands-on, concrete objects, and sensorimotor development
Vygotsky: Zone of Proximal DevelopmentGardner: Multiple IntelligenceErikson: Stages of Development. Our 4 and five
year olds are in the initiative versus guilt stage. Positive interactions help to develop good self-esteem in the child of this age. Negative ones give the child a distorted picture of himself
(Black & Puckett, 2005).
