They need to approach the task as active makers of meaning. Teachers can encourage students to become active participants in the classroom community by tailoring their instructional reading strategies and methods to the needs of their classes and the individuals in those classes.

Writing Materials for Children McGee and Richgels (1996) discuss appropriate writing materials for children: "Teachers select a variety of writing tools and materials to support their literacy program: Writing tools, including colored, medium, and soft lead pencils; pens with a variety of ink colors; and markers, crayons, and chalk in a variety of colors and widths. Lined and unlined paper in assorted colors, textures, sizes, and shapes. Other writing materials, such as index cards, printed forms, postcards, magic slates, erasable marker boards, chalkboards, and clipboards. Bookmaking and greeting-card making materials, such as wallpaper, contact paper, wrapping paper, used greeting cards, staplers, scissors, hole punchers, envelopes, stickers, yarn, and glue. A typewriter, one or more computers with word processing programs, and a printer. In addition to these materials, creative teachers will find many unusual writing materials that appeal to children, such as scented markers, alphabet stamps, and letter-shaped cookie cutters. Children occasionally enjoy using unusual writing surfaces, such as magic slates, pebble board, and scratch-off paper. Office or art supply stores sell many kinds of exciting writing materials that creative teachers can adapt for classroom use." (p. 190) References info@ncrel.org

27. Literacy For Children This is a webpage for ISP605 it consists of a pathfinder based on the topic Children's Literacy http://www.albany.edu/~jg7712/isp605/pathfinder.html

Literacy for Children: A Pathfinder Table of Contents Subject Headings Browsing Areas Dictionaries Bibliographies ... Internet Sources photo from the BEST Project Those who read achieve and in turn succeed! Early language and educational experiences for children have been found to be particularly critical to adult literacy levels. Early education activities such as learning nursery rhymes and stories, watching Sesame Street, playing word and number games, being read to at an early age, all positively relate to a students' ability to read. Children who learn to read early typically are better students and have higher reading levels. If our nation's schools are going to have an impact on literacy rates, then clearly all children must be given every possible opportunity to learn to read. Policy makers, teachers and parents alike need to work cooperatively with schools in order to achieve this goal. Therefore, this pathfinder is aimed primarily at educators, parents and college students interested in the fields of librarianship, teaching and children's literature. This pathfinder will assist these groups in their endeavor to enhance the literacy skills and enthusiasm of children to read. Some materials listed below provide effective ways to assist those interested in literacy to gain the knowledge needed to promote literacy for our children. Most materials provided are in print, however, there are some software, video and web links regarding literacy and literacy programs that are listed too. Some are available online, and others can be accessed through public and universities libraries and bookstores.

28. Bank Street: Pre-Reading Strategies Bank Street College's Guide to Literacy for Volunteers and Tutors. http://www.bankstreet.edu/literacyguide/pre.html

Home About this Site Please register Our approach to Literacy ... Bank Street College Pre-Reading Strategies These activities can help students to: Activate Background Knowledge and Make Connections Stimulate Predictions Form a Purpose for Reading Predicting: Examine the cover illustration (if there is one) and read the title of new book. Ask child to predict what it might be about based on either the cover picture, the title, or both. If the title and illustration are not helpful in giving the student a sense of what the story is about, you can provide a brief summary of the book. For example, when looking at a book with a picture of a cat on the front, you can say: "This story is about a cat that moves to a new house and has some adventures while trying to make new friends." Activating Background Knowledge: Ask the student to tell you what he or she knows about the subject of the story or if he or she has had similar experiences, or heard or read a story like this or by same author. "You said you have a cat. Tell me what your cat does all day and who its friends are. What kind of friends do you think the cat in this book might find?" If the topic is totally unfamiliar, reconsider book choice, or take extra time to build the necessary background knowledge through some kind of concrete experiences. For example, if you choose a book about a farm and the student has never been to a farm you may want to begin by looking at pictures of farms and farm animals, and having a brief discussion about what kinds of things happen on farms: what animals live there, what things grow on farms, etc.

Kirkwood School District Robinson Elementary School Select Another Faculty Member Jackson, Mitzi Skip main content and go to side navigation Where am I? Print This Page Reading Block During our Reading Block we do various reading/literacy activities including Reader’s Workshop, Guided Reading, and Shared Reading. Reader’s Workshop: During Reader’s Workshop the children are given time to read independently to practice what they have learned. The teacher circulates around the room and confers with individual students about their reading. Each day, guided reading groups are pulled together as well. Each child has their own BOOK BOX with “just right” books (leveled texts) and books of interest that they use at this time. Students also do work at a variety of activity centers. Guided Reading: During Guided Reading the teacher meets with a small group of students for a reading lesson. These groups are formed with several things in mind; reading level, interest, and skills or strategies. This is a time for students to practice what they have learned in a supportive environment with on the spot teaching. Shared Reading: During Shared Reading the whole class reads together using a variety of enlarged texts such as big books and poems. Each child can join in at his or her own level of understanding and can experience success as an individual learner. This time is used to model, or think aloud, what “good readers” do as they process text.

Literacy Activities for Day Care and Preschool Settings The following literacy activities are appropriate for children in day care and preschool settings: Daily Reading Book Talk Use the PEER sequence to ask questions and facilitate discussion about stories.

Refer to chapters 6 through 9 in Straight Talk About Reading Writing Create a well-stocked writing center in the classroom and provide a variety of writing materials for children Dramatic Play Note: Because literacy develops along a continuum, children may have various levels of literacy accomplishments.

Blue Sofa Media Learning for the 21st Century Daily Five Reading and Literacy CAFE by Matt on September 27, 2009 in CAFE Literacy Independent Students Literacy The Daily Five Last year I began using (Gail Boushey and Joan Moser) process of teaching balanced literacy to my fourth grade students: Daily Five Reading and Literacy CAFE . Periodically I will post information, videos, or examples of how I am implementing this balanced literacy structure. Daily Five Reading and Literacy CAFE Daily Five consists of five components that students (ideally) practice daily: Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading, Word Work, Work on Writing If Daily Five Reading is the structure for students, Literacy CAFE is the structure of teaching reading strategies and assessing students. CAFE stands for: Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, Expanding Vocabulary. Through mini-lessons taught each day, strategies are added to the CAFE board (see picture above) and referred back to as necessary. Here is a quick video snapshot of my classroom. Students are engaged in Read to Self, Read to Someone, and Work on Writing. In this video students chose which component of Daily Five Reading they wanted to work on, so all three activities are going on simultaneously. Students on the computers are writing science presentations, while other students are actively reading.
