(Y) Three examples of print and reading inclusion in activities for the week are:
1. At group time, have flannel board pieces of the main characters out in the manipulatives center. Children can move these characters around and retell the story. The children may use different voices for each character. This shows familiarity with the genre of fictional story.
The target areas of development this demonstrates are: Vocabulary, Listening and Reading Comprehension, Motivation to engage with text.
2. Include newspaper flyers in your dramatic play grocery store. Use coupons, sales information, and item labels. This exposes children to more than stories. Experiences with multiple genres have proved to be beneficial to primary grade children.
The target areas of development this demonstrates are: Understanding of Genre, Motivation to Engage with text, Concepts of print, vocabulary.
3. The block area exposes the children to important literacy building opportunities, including books on houses, construction vehicles, labels on block shelves with shape names, graph paper for drawing and then building their design. This activity helps to build a solid foundation of literacy.

You could further this activity for home practice, by having your parents make flannel boards out of old pizza boxes. The students could cut and color pictures of story characters out to take home and use on their own flannel board. Students will love showing their parents how the story goes with their own flannel board pieces.
Michelle,
The idea using the newspaper flyer to help the students understand how real life works is great. We need to model for students that not all reading is from school books and not all learning comes from school. Some times I think they don't make the connection of how what they are learning in school can be transformed into real life situations. We can't start to early teaching this.

Michelle,
The idea of using a flannel board to manipulate characters is good, also the students could dress as the characters from the books and act out the story as you read.
