Papers

In this section you can find all of the papers that I wrote for my Emergent Literacy class:
Here are a few assessments that are used in a classroom to help evaluate what level a child is at. Knowing where a child is based on reading and writing will help to decide what to teach them. Miscue Analysis can be used to determine what guided reading groups to put each child in and Spelling Inventory can be used to see what each child can spell and where they struggle and then create activities around their weaknesses.

Literacy is an important thing to consider in a classroom. Having good books around that classroom that challenge every child is something that will help them to become better readers. Practicing reading strategies and writing in the classroom will help each child to become better in literacy. I believe that having books readily available to my students and constantly having them read or write in their spare time is a great way to help them become the best they can be. I feel that it is important to give students as many opportunities as possible to be the best they can be in literacy. Below is what inspired me as a reader and writer, along with different literature that I would use in a classroom.
