LITERACY ACTIVITIES

Literacy activities provide children with meaningful interactions with books and print. Books give children the opportunity to respond to various forms of literature, to follow simple story lines, to predict outcomes, and to retell a familiar story. Children develop their literacy skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) by reading books, writing stories, retelling stories using props (e.g. puppets and flannel board pieces), and listening to a variety of books on tape.
