Literacy Ideas

Sequencing and Story Web Boards. Download literacy.zip and get two files:

drawtell.bkr is 3 boxes with lines below. The teacher may make one with 3 pictures retelling the story, give it to the child, then ask the child to dictate the story. The teacher could make one with no pictures, ask the student to draw, and then dictate the story. Make extra one to xerox and cut out sequence pictures for students to glue in the correct order, then dictate story.
wordgrid is a word/picture web to show "all we know" about a particular word. --submitted by Heather Mason

Fresh Ideas Book List! Are you tired of the Very Hungry Caterpillar? We asked PEP teachers to list the newer or less common books that they like to use with their preschoolers. You can view the list or download it in Microsoft Excel format. The advantage of downloading it is that you can easily sort an Excel spreadsheet by Title, Author, Theme, or Concepts/Skills.

While on walks or driving around town: Point out roadsigns--what they say, letters used, what they mean. --submitted by Jill Edwards Staton
