Concepts of Print
Concepts of print refers to all the concepts related to how print is organized
and used in reading and writing tasks. Several concepts must be attended to by
young learners: letter vs. word, first and last, directionality,
and word-by-word matching. Children understand the concept
of letter vs. word when they recognize a difference between letters and words
and realize that words are composed of letters. Children also must develop an
understanding of "first and last" as it relates to words, sentences, and whole
texts.
