Education during the slave period
During the era of slavery in the United States, the education of African Americans, enslaved and free, was often discouraged, except for religious instruction, and eventually made illegal in many of the Southern states.
It was believed that literacy was a threat to the institution of slavery.
First, literacy facilitated knowledge about the successful slave revolution in Haiti of 1791 – 1804, the end of slavery in the British Empire in 1833, and the writings of abolitionists.
Secondly, literacy allowed or potentially allowed slaves better access to information about the Underground Railroad and other routes to freedom.
The United States is unique in that it is the only country known to have prohibited the education of slaves.
Nonetheless, both free and enslaved African Americans continued to learn to read and write as a result of the sometimes clandestine efforts of African Americans themselves, as well as schools and informal education that operated during this period.
In addition, slaves used storytelling, music, and crafts to pass along cultural traditions and other information.
In the Northern states, African Americans had more access to formal schooling and were more likely to have basic reading and writing skills.
The Quakers were important in establishing education programs in the North in the years before and after the Revolutionary War.
During the U.S. colonial period, two prominent religious groups, Congregationalists and Anglicans, both saw the conversion of slaves as a spiritual obligation, and the ability to read scriptures was seen as part of this process( Monoghan, 2001).
The Great Awakening served as a catalyst for encouraging education for all members of society.
While reading was encouraged in religious instruction, writing often was not.
Writing was seen as a mark of status, unnecessary for many members of society, including slaves.
This is due to the fact that many had to learn how to read to be able to write.
Runaway Wallace Turnage" learnt" how to read and write" during that time[ of his enslavement] and since[ he] escaped the clutches of those held who held[ him] in slavery."
It is believed that he learned with the help of the slaves who helped him escape to different sites: for example, someone may have taught him how to read directions to get to the next town.
Memorization, catechisms, and scripture formed the basis of what education was available.
Despite the lack of importance generally given to writing instruction, there were some notable exceptions; perhaps the most famous of these was Phillis
Wheatley, whose poetry won admiration on both sides of the Atlantic.
The end of slavery and, with it, the legal prohibition of slave education did not mean that education for former slaves or their children became widely available.
Racial segregation in schools," de jure" and then" de facto", and inadequate funding of the schools for African Americans, continued into the later twentieth century and continues in many areas( 2019).

Emergent literacies
Emergent literacy is a term that is used to explain a child's knowledge of reading and writing skills before they learn how to read and write words.
It signals a belief that, in literate society, young children—even one- and two-year-olds—are in the process of becoming literate.
Through the support of parents, caregivers, and educators, a child can successfully progress from emergent to conventional reading.
The basic components of emergent literacy include:
Emergent literacy is of critical importance in early education in light of research showing that children learn skills that prepare them to read years before they start school.
