Extractions: Dive into Reading Don't you just love good books? I do... As a teacher, stories are the centerpiece or focal point when it comes to lesson planning. Since I am a thematic, center-based teacher it just makes sense for me to plan my lessons around literature. If you don't teach this way, you don't know what you're missing. It's so much fun and the kids love all of the activities! I read two stories a day. I try to read something at circle time; such as a poem, weekly reader or a story. I also have a separate story time where we take a picture walk through the book, make predictions, expand our vocabularies, write responses to the book, discuss story elements and do comprehension activities. So, everyday kids are reading or being read to several times a day. When you read books during story time, this is a great opportunity to teach character development, phonemic awareness, listening skills, comprehension, science facts, history, math concepts and many other skills and concepts. Now, if you're not used to teaching this way it may seem overwhelming. But, here is how I cover all of my objectives:
Extractions: The materials you need in order to create a "literate home" at this stage are minimal, but the way that you use them with your child is important. Babies and toddlers need to explore books, letters, and writing materials as they begin to figure out the special significance of these objects. What they need most, however, is for their parents to talk and listen to them. Through talking and communicating with their parents and caregivers, they build a strong language base, the ability to both understand and use language, that will support their literacy development. Babies and toddlers come to love books and view them as a part of their world when you provide easy access and opportunities to explore them. For young babies, vinyl or cloth books that are durable and soft enough for chewing are suitable, while toddlers will enjoy board, paperback, and hardcover books. Be sure to include a variety of kinds of books in your child's collection, including nursery rhymes, ABC books, informational books, and storybooks. You can look for bargain children's books at used bookstores and yard sales or purchase books at great prices through monthly book clubs offered through child care centers or schools.
Extractions: The "literate home" for this age child only needs a few inexpensive materials, but parent involvement is key. Your young child or kindergartner continues to build her language base (understanding and using language) in preparation for learning to read, so she still benefits from lots of talk with adults that helps her learn new words. Young children and kindergartners are beginning to figure out how the written word works, and they are starting to use reading and writing in their daily lives. At this age, having a wide variety of books and writing materials available is crucial. For young children, nursery rhymes, ABC books, informational books, and storybooks are most appropriate. Kindergartners will enjoy longer stories or chapter books, and some will be able to read very easy books by themselves by the end of the year. You can look for bargain children's books at used bookstores and yard sales, or purchase books at great prices through monthly book clubs offered through child care centers or schools.
