-
Pointing out and discussing concepts of print during daily reading activities helps students learn concepts of print.
-
Naming the front cover, then pointing to and discussing the features found on the front cover of a book helps students learn to identify features of a book.
-
As students become more aware of features on the cover, students need opportunities to point out the title on the front cover of books during large and small group settings.
-
Encouraging students to make front and back covers for the books they create reinforces features of books.
- Educators may believe that students will innately learn the features of a book without direct instruction, but they do not. It is important that students receive intentional instruction during class, small group, and individual dialogue when discussing and sharing literature and other forms of print.
|
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.
