61. Building Blocks™ Encourage letter and sound recognition through activities with alphabet books, Predictable Charts Shared writing for kindergarten and First Grade http://www.four-blocks.com/kindergarten.htm

by Dorothy Hall and Elaine Williams) Bring the Four-Blocks Create an environment where all students see themselves becoming independent readers and writers through a variety of developmentally appropriate activities. Language Concepts Foster the ability to read and write words through the use of morning messages, journal entries, sentence building activities, and environmental print. Print Concepts Teach print concepts by modeling how to write and participating in shared reading and shared writing experiences. Phonemic Awareness Develop phonemic awareness, including the concept of rhyme, through activities with poetry, rhyming books, tongue twisters, and playing with language. Interesting Words Extend the list of real-life words that students find personally relevant, such as favorite restaurant names, favorite cartoon characters, and family members.

62. Morning Message We used the following shared writing activities in our classrooms This showed that the kindergarten children preferred the shared writing experience http://www.fcps.k12.va.us/DeerParkES/TR/message/message.htm

Morning Message Teaching Techniques Used in Kindergarten/First Grade Research by Erin Geddes and Mary Swearingen Deer Park Elementary School Rationale As primary grade teachers, we were interested in what teaching techniques keep children engaged during morning message writing instruction. Due to the varying reading levels found in primary grades, teachers often have difficulty instructing and engaging the children during whole group morning messages. We wondered as teachers how we could reach each child's needs and enhance the level of excitement. Throughout the year we stretched ourselves as teachers to try new ideas and strategies. We were amazed by the response of the children to some of these strategies and the connections they made in their independent writing to what they had learned in the morning messages. What Are The Reasons Behind Morning Messages? What Do Morning Messages Look Like? The Three Types of Morning Messages Teacher Directed In the beginning of the year in our classrooms we primarily use teacher directed morning messages. These messages are thought up and written by the teacher. In the beginning of the school year, this technique assists the kindergarten children in learning that their thoughts can be written down. The teacher writes what the children are not yet comfortable writing. Teacher directed messages assist both kindergarten and first grade children in learning the basic concepts of print such as: left -to-right, top-to-bottom, return sweep and spacing. Although the children are encouraged to use temporary spelling in their own daily writing, teachers model correct spelling every day through the morning message. Teachers can also introduce children to different genres of writing such as poems and letters. As children gain confidence and ability in their writing, the children become more involved and the teacher moves away from teacher directed messages.

Literacy Best Practice in a Kindergarten Classroom Early childhood and primary grade teachers are called upon to help young children develop reading and writing skills. This challenging task is made even more complicated by the variety of children's literacy experiences and developmental levels. To ensure that a solid foundation is laid for literacy acquisition, classroom literacy activities must be developmentally appropriate as well as applicable to the wide range of literacy skills represented by the children in the classroom. In a typical classroom, children's literacy development may range from just recognizing the concept of a "word" to being able to read and write simple sentences. The teacher needs to meet the needs of all children in such a diverse group. To illustrate best practices in the teaching of literacy skills in kindergarten, a videotape was made of Jo Wingo's kindergarten classroom at Centralized Kindergarten North School in Indianapolis, Indiana. Two segments of the video are available for viewing. In the first segment, Jo Wingo works with her kindergarten class to determine the writing activity for the day
