3  How familiar are you with the NYS Pre-K Performance indicators?  How familiar are you with the developmental Milestones chart?

4 PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS Listening skill Hear, Identify and manipulate sounds associating a letter symbol with the sound it makes (can hear parts or syllables, blending sounds) Phonics-connecting sounds to letters (print skill) -songs, chants, rhymes, syllable clapping games PHONEMIC AWARENESS Part of Phonological awareness (higher level) Ability to notice, think about and work with individual sounds in spoken words (b-u-g) -songs, chants, rhymes, syllable clapping games

5 Rhyming Names Brainstorm a list of rhyming name games you do with children (at least 5 per table). What other games do you play with rhymes?

6 Make a list of finger plays you do with children. Edit the list to include those that support phonological and phonemic awareness.

7  Clay boy book and activities

8  Compare the two.  In your groups, write down characteristics of a literacy center and characteristics of a learning center.

9 LITERACY CENTERS Content Specific Product Orientated Prescribed Support ELA goals Done during LA block (while teacher works with small groups. ) Provide skill reinforcement  Phonics  Phonemic Awareness  Fluency (oral reading)  Comprehension  Vocabulary development LEARNING CENTERS Choice Time Open-ended Social interaction Independence Numerous objectives Many curriculum areas Often represented in distinct areas of the room (block center) Can have a literacy focus (ie. alphabet puzzles)

12 In your groups…  Look at your personal area (table, purse, bags, etc.) and gather all of the items that are literacy related.  What are some things children might be doing at a learning center that includes these items?  Make a list of possible activities that you might see?

13 Each center should Include: 1. well defined boundaries and traffic patterns. 2. Quiet zones 3. Soft areas 4. Storage 5. Labeled bins, shelves, etc. 6. Make materials accessible 7. Separate teachers materials and student materials 8. Writing materials and books should be in many areas. 9. Avoid clutter 10. You should see all parts of the room

14  Functions (environmental, occupational, informational)  Forms (menus, lists, thank you notes, letters, etc.)  Features (linear, predicable, etc.)

15 PRINT has to have PURPOSE

16  Choose a learning center that you currently implement. How can you or do you infuse literacy into it? What materials can you add? What ideas do children need to guide their work and play so literacy is fostered? What is your role at the center?
