Literacy Training: Making Reading Games Context: Children become successful readers and writers through the development of a wide range of skills and strategies. When literacy skills are presented in game form, children who have been struggling will often be able to tackle the task. Additionally, making reading games together gives tutors the opportunity to discuss the learning needs of children and share ideas for games and other tutoring strategies. All tutors working with children will benefit from this activity, which may occur several times a year in order to meet the various needs and abilities of all children. Goals: To share strengths and areas of concern about students To create games that can help reinforce the skills children are learning Materials/Preparation: Everyone can bring materials for making the games (i.e., file folders, glue, markers, colored pencils, pictures from magazines or old workbooks). Notify participants in advance, so that they can bring adequate supplies. Activity: Give tutors the opportunity to discuss one child with whom they are working. Have them talk about the child's strengths as well as areas in which the child needs additional support. Think about what kind of game would give the child the opportunity to practice and reinforce his or her skills in these areas (see

Consider these 10 simple tips for finding or evaluating an environment that will foster first-graders' or readers' and writers' language and literacy development.

Baby Toddler Young Child Kindergartner ... Main Young Child and Kindergartner Preschoolers and kindergartners thrive in environments in which teachers engage in frequent conversations about topics that interest children. In addition, they are learning about letters and the printed word, so they benefit from lots of exposure to letters and print as well as many opportunities to write each day. Consider these 10 simple tips for finding or evaluating an environment that will foster your young child or kindergartner's language and literacy development. Do the teacher and children talk together often? Look for environments in which children and teachers talk together about new words and ideas. Environments in which teachers listen to children and ask them questions are best for language development. Is there a daily read-aloud time? Ideal preschools and kindergartens offer at least one daily read-aloud time in which the teacher not only reads to children, but also encourages response and discussion about the book. Many teachers even provide art activities or projects that extend children's understanding of a book after reading it together. Is there instruction in phonemic awareness?

Descriptive Study of AmeriCorps Literacy Programs: State and National Abt Associates Inc., November 1999. This multi-purpose study of the 1998-1999 AmeriCorps* State and National programs identifying themselves as providing literacy-related services is intended to inform stakeholders about programs' literacy activities and provide information needed to conduct a follow-up outcome-oriented assessment of tutoring programs. Consequently, this study's objectives included: Describing the programmatic structure and range of literacy and tutoring activities being implemented by AmeriCorps programs; Identifying programs using effective reading/literacy instructional models likely to improve children's reading abilities; Describing the target population receiving services; and Furnishing descriptive and demographic information needed to design the future study of the impact of literacy activities on children's reading skills. This subsequent second study, AmeriCorps Tutoring Outcomes Study, was completed in February 2001. Literacy activities are defined as those intended to foster the development of reading abilities in children or adults. This may occur either directly (e.g., direct instruction via tutoring, classroom instruction, academic mentoring or reading aloud to children) or indirectly (e.g., organizing trips to the library or supporting family literacy activities).

Literacy Education "Everyone learns to read words, but we must learn to read pictures as well.... Looking at and understanding both words and pictures demands a higher cognitive level than merely seeing that words and pictures are there." Rune Pettersson In partnership with ProLiteracy Worldwide, The Communication Project's literacy materials are reaching groups across the country. We have developed and tested resources being used by families and in literacy programs, schools, and universities. The Something to Remember Me By Legacy Project offers FREE book-based family and intergenerational activity kits. The Legacy Project was inspired by the picture book Something to Remember Me By . Stories are one of the most powerful forms of human communication. Our goal is to encourage both verbal and visual literacy. In a picture book, children and adults can explore not only the words and illustrations of the story, but how they are presented, the themes and symbolic meanings, and the way in which the story connects with their own lives.

Sixty Classroom Literacy Activities from Our Participants 1. Use a "thermometer" chart on a bulletin board to keep track of minutes read or pages read. Have each class participating keep track for six to eight weeks prior to the Day Of, with the end of the day of THE READ IN! as the culmination. Reward the top three winning classes with a book placed in the school library/media center in the class' name! 2. Develop a theme...Teddy Bears; Dr. Seuss; Reaching for the Moon with Reading. Any theme is great and, with some simple planning, can easily be worked into the Day Of. 3. Set up teepees or tents. This was a real treat for some students in Southern California! The teacher had several full size tents set up in the room, turned off the lights, and the kids read by flashlight! Another site pitched tents outside and placed their guest readers inside. At specific times, classes had stories read to them! 4. Contact AASL (American Association of School Librarians) and participate in "Count On Reading." Each state has a representative! 5. Have little ones bring a favorite stuffed animal to school. Have them read a story to their friend. During the Day Of, have the students "introduce" their friends by name and tell a bit about the book they shared!
