This week's language arts topic was about emergent literacy. As a teacher, there are many strategies that can be used not only to help children enter into the literary world but to get them enthusiastic about the words on a page. Books that are circle stories are very beneficial in helping children emerge into literacy.Pre-before the teacher begins reading the actual pages, showing the front of the book and asking the students to predict what the story is about is a great activity. With the help of a large, poster-sized replica of the book it will be easier to capture the students' attention.
During-shared reading can be done while reading the book. Students can repeat the words after the teacher reads or they can join in when they can.
After- Children can create their own circle story or give their own account of what happened.
By observing and participating in the classroom where reading and writing is used, students learn how literacy works. Reading and writing abilities are developed at the same time that they experience literature. These strategies build the students' understanding of reading and writing by getting them actively involved with the literacy materials. If students are successful at the onset, their enthusiasm with literacy may last a lifetime.
