Which activity does NOT support the development of print awareness in children?

Teaching a lesson about the parts of a book
Using a "big book" to read aloud
Demonstrating the motions to the song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
Helping a student write his name

The correct answer is: Demonstrating the motions to the song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"

The activity that does not support the development of print awareness in children is the demonstration of the motions to the song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." While this activity encourages rhythm, movement, and auditory skills, it does not directly relate to understanding print concepts. Print awareness is focused on helping children comprehend the function and features of written language, such as recognizing letters, understanding that text carries meaning, and distinguishing between words and letters. In contrast, teaching about the parts of a book, using a "big book" for read-alouds, and helping a student write their name all foster print awareness. These activities introduce children to the structure and purpose of text, promote engagement with written language, and enhance their ability to recognize and manipulate print.
