Literacy plan and poster presentation
In this assignment we want you to develop your 'teacher eyes' by focusing on a young literacy learner.
It requires you to choose a book and read this with a child aged between three and eight years.
First you need to choose a children’s picture book and think about how you might read this with the child.
Consider what kinds of questions you might ask and where you might stop to discuss things such as the characters, story and/or pictures.
Think about how you might get the child interested in the book and how you might make connections to what they already know and have experienced.
Next you need to read the book to or with the child taking into account your plan of how you might do the reading.
After reading, talk with the child about the book and more generally about the things they like reading and/or have read to them.
Make notes about what you have learned about this young child. For example, what do they know about reading? How do they use reading? What do they like to read?
Finally think about what you have learned about this young child and how it might inform the way you plan for them in a more formal setting such as a daycare setting, preschool or school.
When writing up your assignment it needs to be divided into three distinct parts and connections to the various ideas/readings in this unit need to be made where appropriate.
Justification - (approximately - 400 words) In this section describe the book that you have chosen to read and talk
through how you intend to read it to and/or with the child.
Profile your literacy learner – (approximately - 1200 words) In this section tell us what you found out about your literacy learner; What interests do they have? What kinds of things do they like to read or have read to them?; How do they use reading and/or literacy outside of school?; How do they use language when they talk to you?; What do they already know about reading?; What can they do? *Make connections to the ideas/required readings in this unit where appropriate
Plan for your literacy learner - (approximately 900 words) In this section you need to think about what would be
important to teach this literacy learner in a formal setting such as a daycare centre, preschool or school?; What kinds of resources would be useful for this learner?; What might be effective ways to work with this learner?; Justify your plan in relation to what you found out about the child.; NB Make connections to the ideas/required readings in this unit where appropriate
