Observation Task 5: Literacy Software /Web-based

Programs
Focus: Identify types of literacy software/web based programs used in the classroom

Objective: To encourage student teachers to use various literacy software/web based programs
in the classroom which support the development of early childhood literacy skills

Procedure: Familiarize yourself with the Observation Table: Documenting Computer Software /
Web-based Programs. Describe how each program/website that was used in the classroom
supports the current unit of study, the ADEC curriculum, and multiple bits of intelligence.

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

Were there any literacy software/web based programs used in the

classroom? If there were, select (a); if there were not, select (b).

There is no extra program used by MST.

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

programs address?

b) Provide at least two (2) literacy/web based programs that the teacher
can use to help assist her students in developing their early literacy
skills.

First:
One website called free online kindergarten that teaches the students reading
using games and puzzles. Also, it develops phonological awareness and letter
knowledge, so I think its useful if my MST.
