The social language environment – domain

ECEC settings are children's first contact with early education, and ECEC teachers are expected to encourage and support children's early literacy development. This study aims to pilot test the self-assessment tool Social Language Environment – Domain, (SLE-D), in order to gain more knowledge about teachers’ strategies when teaching literacy. Fifteen ECEC teachers used the tool as a support to focus on didactic strategies that provide conditions for children's early literacy development over 22 months. The data consists of (N = 299) self-reported and rated teaching activities across four time-points. Cronbach's alpha showed satisfactory internal consistency for the entire self-assessment tool, while each domain showed somewhat lower levels of consistency. Principal component analysis suggested a 5-factor solution, indicating subdimensions of the three dimensions. However, item mean values showed notable changes in ECEC teachers’ ratings, which can be interpreted as teachers developing their strategies in literacy-related play activities by using the tool
