Developing Literacy through Environment and Dramatic Play
Environments matter, and teachers need to be intentional about the environments that they create. In this session we’ll work together to create plans for a literacy-rich classroom that includes time for dramatic play appropriate for PreK children. We’ll also explore how combining learning and play supports early learners’ development. Learning outcomes: • Create a classroom plan that intentionally builds a literacy-rich environment. • Plan opportunities for dramatic play that promote literacy development. • Plan centers that support the independent use of early literacy skills in reading and writing. • Develop a plan to collect classroom data.
