Phonics and Literacy

Our classroom is a literacy-rich environment. Materials are labeled throughout the classroom to promote reading and print awareness. There are many opportunities for reading as a group, one-on-one with the teacher, and individually. Some of the language and literacy activities include daily journal writing, name tracing, story dictation, and discussion time during story reading.

Language and literacy include:

  • Print awareness
  • Sounds of speech
  • Phonemic awareness
  • Phonics
  • Letter recognition
  • Fluency
  • Vocabulary
  • Writing and spelling
  • Text comprehension
