Pre-Lesson Activity
Read the following statements about K-3 learners and their literacy development and indicate (by
ticking the relevant choice) whether you agree or disagree with each one. These statements will
help you to reflect on your attitudes toward children and literacy learning. After completing Lesson
1, you will need to review these statements again to find out if there are changes in what you know
and in your perceptions and attitudes.
1. A child is literate when he/she starts reading books and writing letters.
Agree Disagree
2. A child should be taught how to read first before being asked to write.
Agree Disagree
3. Before children learn to read, they should know the sounds of most letters.

Activity 2
A. Observe and describe the literacy behaviors of one of your students using the checklist, and then
answer the following questions:
1. Which behaviors does your student exhibit?
2. Which of your student's behaviors do you think shows the greatest evidence of being literate?
Note: This is an open-ended assignment with no "correct" answers. This assignment can help you
become more aware of the different developmental behaviors that young learners display. To
maximize the use of these checklists, you can:
● Observe some learners over a period of time (monthly, quarterly, etc.) to see whether they
are displaying more of these behaviors over time;
● Think about activities that you can plan and implement in class, to provide more
opportunities for learners to display these behaviors; and
● Study the behavioral expectations of learners one grade level above and one grade level
below the grade level you are teaching, to see whether you can help bridge gaps, if any.
C. Discuss your observations with your colleagues during your first LAC session.
