A literacy-rich environment emphasizes the importance of speaking, reading, and writing in the learning of all students. The language and literacy materials that we selected for our classroom will facilitate language and literacy opportunities, reflection and thought regarding classroom design, and intentional instruction and facilitation by teachers and staff. Students lacking previous experiences with skills such as print awareness, alphabetic principle, and phonemic awareness need supplementary instruction to ensure they do not lag behind their peers. The circle time learning center will be used during our large group time in the mornings. The learning letters activity set will help reinforce what the students are learning during circle time while they are engaged in free play. The kinetic sand will also be used to promote language and literacy in other areas of the classroom. Reading is a fundamental skill that defines the academic success or failure of students. Please provide our students with the materials they need to succeed in the future while in our classroom.
