Literacy+activities

Literacy activities are useful and effective means of developing early literacy skills. They can be appealing to students as they are more interactive and more hands on than the standard methods of teaching reading and writing discussed previously. Examples of reading activities could include: Matching pictures and text - example a worksheet or set of cards with pictures and the corresponding written words which the children are to match, word finds in books, and story boards where children draw the story in a sequence of pictures. Examples of writing activities could include pocket charts:children arrange pre written cut up words into sentences and another activity could be cumulative books where a book is started with one line of text written by one person then passed around a group or class and added to one sentence at a time by individuals.
