This assignment allows students to observe the elements of a print rich classroom and the teacher’s role in building print awareness skills in young children.
The Assignment
This assignment has 4 parts:
Part 1. Watch the two vidoes: ” Six Skills of Early Literacy” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4Soey3NETU and ” Teaching Phonological Awareness, Alphabet Knowledge, and Concepts of Print in Preschool Large Group https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuDE_5zozaE&t=334s Once you have viewed the videos choose 3 of the strategies discussed in the video that promote print awareness. Discuss these strategies in a paragraph that focuses on the strategies and how you will implement them in your classroom. The paragraph should be a minimum of 7 sentences.
Part 2.: When thinking of a print rich classroom decide on some materials you would like to have in your classroom that would promote print awareness.One of my favorites is word walls:) Here are a few examples you may want to consider but do not limit yourself to these: (environmental print, different types of books, materials to promote play with print such as items to create a shopping list or birthday card, different textures of letters ……. )
*Research and find 5 items that you would choose. Pictures of these 5 items must be included with a 5 sentence write up (for each item) discussing why you chose that item and how it will help promote a print rich classroom as well as print awareness in the classroom.
Part 3: Observe in an early classroom environment (children ages 3 years to 5 years) to determine the appropriateness and adequacy/lack of print rich materials and teacher interaction implementing strategies that promote print awareness. Included with your submission should be the attached observation form filled out by you and the classroom teacher where your observation takes place. (If observation form is not included, points will not be earned for this section)
Make a list of the print rich items and teacher strategies promoting print awareness that you see. The list must include 3 items and two strategies at a minimum. Give specifics – what types of books do you see, charts, posters, calendars, paper, crayons, pencils, software……. Strategies: Is the teacher showing children print directionality, lower case and upper case letters, distinguishing between letters and words, reading aloud to children, items labeled …. Each example should be discussed (in a minimum of 5 sentences ) the following questions:
*how does the activity promote promote print awareness
*how would you implement the items into your classroom?
**Pictures must be included for the 3 items
