-
Classrooms that are print-rich, having labels, poems, charts, and books, provide many opportunities for students to interact with print.
-
Explaining environmental print gives purpose to print and introduces students to the idea that text carries meaning.
-
Environmental print is the name given to the print that appears in signs, labels, and logos that our students see around them every day.
-
Recognition of environmental print helps students merge into the logographic or pre-alphabetic stage of literacy development.
-
Students will begin to recognize the sign or logo from their favorite restaurants or toys before recognizing normal words in print.
- It is a misconception that students recognize the letters and are reading or sounding out words of items they are are seeing every day. In actuality, students see environmental print as a logo or single entity with no attention to specific letters or sounds.
|
Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
