Markers we can observe to see if children are gaining competence and approaching mastery Along the way to mastery we can see –Interest in the early literacy activity –Engagement in the early literacy activity –Competence in the literacy behaviors involved in the literacy activity 4

5. Illustrate: The Interest-Based Cycle of Mastery Mastery Interests Engagement Competence Literacy Activities 5

6. Illustrate: Identifying Early Literacy Outcome Indicators Interests –Does the child appear to enjoy the literacy activity? –Does the child request the literacy activity at other times? Engagement –Is the child actively participating in the literacy activity? –Is the child “working hard” at trying to do the literacy activity? Competence –Is the child able to do the literacy activity with minimal support? Mastery –Does the child try to do something new as part of the literacy activity? Answering the following questions will help you know where a child is in the Cycle of Mastery: 6
