What resources do you need to support early literacy and reading?
From Section 1 (e.g. Case Study 1.2) you know that a resource may be a thing or a person, for example:
- things to use (such as magazines or storybooks)
- people who could help (such as storytellers – people who can talk about their interesting or unusual jobs or hobbies to children)
- things to make (such as a word wall or alphabet chart).
In Activity 2.2, you explored different types of resources that could be included in a print-rich environment. In Activity 2.3, think practically about how you can find or make each resource.
Activity 2.3: Creating resources
Where will you get resources for a print-rich environment? Try to discuss these ideas for resources with a colleague, including how you could work together to find or make them. You should open or print this table template [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] (or draw a copy of it in your study notebook) and complete it.
