The learners will be provided crayons or dot markers to fill in printed characters from the brown bear book. Depending on how many students there are, multiple of them may be given the same animal. The teacher or assistant teacher will then assist with gluing on to popsicle sticks or provide prompting to the student depending on their fine motor skills. After the craft is completed, the teacher will re-read the story aloud to the group and prompt each student to stand up when their animal is called.

My reading center is spacious, organized, and decorated with symbols, letters, and relevant sight words. This area can be used for group story time, circle time, playing, looking at books, arts and crafts, and doing group activities.

An environment that promotes print awareness is important for early learners because it is a naturalistic way to introduce text. Signs with visuals and letters in the environment help increase the connection that text has a meaning. They also assist during learning opportunities if they are relevant (example: while learning about months of the year the teacher points to the calendar for each month.) This type of environment assists in creating a vibrant and engaging learning experience for the students as well.

Retelling stories in preschool is a simple but powerful way to help children build language and thinking skills. When kids share a story in their own words, they’re learning to organize their thoughts, remember details, and understand how stories work. It also gives them a chance to use new vocabulary, speak with confidence, and connect with others through storytelling
