| <p><font face="Palatino">Today we know that children can learn to | |
| be good readers by listening to literature, discussing | |
| literature, reading literature and writing about it. When | |
| learning happens in a meaningful and integrated manner, children | |
| acquire skills because they are truly needed for communication.</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Palatino">With the integrated method, teachers | |
| provide many opportunities for children to experience a variety | |
| of wonderful literature that is our heritage. Teachers read to | |
| students, offering a model of skillful oral reading, while | |
| whetting their appetite for good stories. They provide many kinds | |
| of books in the classrooms. Many classrooms have reading corners | |
| for quiet reading, writing centers that include materials for | |
| illustrating books, and areas for making and staging plays.</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Palatino">Children will be taught strategies for | |
| decoding words, in a variety of meaningful contexts. Students | |
| will attain a basic sight vocabulary and an enriched vocabulary | |
| as they explore the great world of literature. Students learn the | |
| conventions of the English language, including correct usage, | |
| grammatical correctness, spelling, punctuation, and | |
| capitalization, through listening, speaking, reading and writing | |
| and through direct instruction.</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Palatino">Parents and teachers have always been | |
| interested in helping children to read; now they can help them | |
| explore literature. The reading ability of children improves when | |
| they learn to be good listeners and thinkers in both home and | |
| school discussion. Their self-esteem increases when they know | |
| adults listen to and value their opinions and ideas. Reading to | |
| children plants the seeds of love for reading. Trips to the | |
| library and checking out books are extremely worthwhile. Children | |
| copy their parents when they see them reading. Parents and | |
| teachers who love to read books are role models for children who | |
| are successful in reading and learning language skills. Parents | |
| and teachers want children to view reading as a pleasurable | |
| activity.</font></p> | |
| <p><font face="Palatino"><b>Overview:</b> Kindergarten students | |
| will develop an interest in an enjoyment of reading by paying | |
| attention to stories read to them, telling a story, watching as | |
| it is written down and listening as their stories are read aloud. | |
| They will also learn to handle a book appropriately. A rich | |
| spoken language experience will help children learn new | |
| vocabulary. Students will have experiences that encourage | |
| self-expression.</font></p> | |
