Children's Literacy Initiative
Anchor Charts
11 Pins
Anchor Charts / Classroom visual reminders of student learning (strategies, procedures, behaviors, ideas). Charts that students refer to to support their literacy learning and independent work should be placed in classroom spaces where they make the most sense for viewing and using (small group spaces, large group spaces, centers/stations, etc.).
Classroom Book Collections
9 Pins
Classroom Book Collections / A vast and balanced book collection tells students that this is a classroom where reading is valued, purposeful and constant, with books that meet the needs and interests of everyone. The classroom book collection should represent the right balance of genres, fiction and non-fiction, and books that are developmentally appropriate for the students’ age and reading levels. The books appeal to students’ interests, gender and cultures, and are accessed for enjoyment and instructional purposes.

Classroom Library Corners
8 Pins
Classroom Library Corners / The library corner is the designated area in the classroom where quality children’s literature is organized, categorized and displayed. It is the focal point in the classroom and has home-like furniture items and cozy spaces where students can read alone or together. Students are taught to value this space, and understand how to work in it. Having a central, comfortable place to display and interact with books makes students feel at home and elevates the importance of books in the classroom.
