Students come from all
parts of the community and each child will have their own background and as
teachers, we will be responsible for teaching the student how to read and write
and the important connection between the two. If we are able to relate the
material to our students, they will become more interested in learning, and
hopefully understand it. Interested is key. The more literature that students are exposed to, the
more they will know and learn. I remember a fun activity in Kindergarten that
helped me learn to read—my teacher would have little books with pictures
stapled together for us and we would get to color the pictures and then we
would take them home and read to our parents. This obviously wouldn’t be beneficial
for parents who weren’t involved, but my parents made sure to read those with me
and I think coloring the pictures made me pay attention to what I was actually
reading. What are some ways that you can include literacy in a childs day?
I really like the examples that were given in our textbook, especially the one where you focus on each child's name and use them as a way to teach the basics, such as first/last letters and syllables. I would definitely use a type of "Name Game" to include literacy in a child's day in my future classroom.
