Enhancing Literacy Development and Positive Dispositions Toward Reading and Language Learning

Scenario

You are a mentor teacher in a K–3 school who is committed to  implementing effective strategies to enhance literacy development and  positive dispositions toward reading and language learning for children  in kindergarten through the primary grades. You lead your school’s Early  Literacy Committee, which is supporting K–3 teachers with the following  literacy initiatives:

  • Helping kindergarten teachers recognize key signs of emergent  literacy and provide independent activities to enhance emergent literacy  in kindergartners;
  • Creating engaging literacy centers for independent activities for literacy development in first grade classrooms;
  • Creating literacy-rich libraries in second and third grade classrooms;
  • Promoting positive dispositions toward reading and language learning in K–3 children.

In your role as an early literacy mentor and teacher leader, you have  created three templates with guidelines for each literacy initiative  that K–3 teachers can complete for their classrooms. You decide to fill  in each template to provide a model that you can discuss with teachers  at an upcoming K–3 staff meeting. In preparation for the meeting, you  will create the three handouts, one each for kindergarten, first grade,  and second/third grade teachers.

To complete this Assessment, use the three templates to create the handouts, following the instructions provided.
