Advocacy Interview

The insights I have gained from the interview are that the teachers for Head Start are concerned about the children's school readiness skills. Some of the things they feel are important are the following: early math skills, phonological awareness, and social skills. They are also concerned on how to teach the children. Do they teach them the uppercase letters first, or the lowercase letters first? Do they teach them both upper and lower at the same time? What type of print do they use to teach them to write their name?
This is how I came about choosing school readiness skills for my paper. My three topics will be math skills, phonological awareness, and social skills. I personally feel that if the child does not have the social skills first, they will never be able to learn the other skills.
I would ask my colleagues if they know of any books, or websites I could use for my research paper?

  1. I think that is a very good topic to research because without these tools children will not be able to function in the world . If they cannot communicate orally or by writing. they will not be able to follow the and understand others. They will not be able to read or write on an application or count to budget a
    household when they grow up.
