Reflections on Observation Task 5: Literacy Software / Web-based Programs

1. Were there any literacy software/web based programs used

in the classroom? If there were, select (a); if there were

not, select (b).

a) What did early childhood literacy skills the software/web-

based programs address?

A program that they use that supports digital literacy is Song of Sounds and the

age targeted is between 3 to 6. The ADEC outcome that is linked to this program

is that students will be able to say the first sound of a letter (consonant and

vowels). Ms. Hamda used this program to teach children the sounds, so far, the

students have learned the sound /a/, /s/, /t/, /p/, and /i/. She begins by introducing

the sound then trying to blend them such as teaching the students the word sat or

tap.
