Discuss how you would create a Literacy Center in your classroom. List supplies, rules, and reasoning and how you would introduce it to the children and how it would change during the year. Reference your work (3-page min. Include sketches if needed)

The First thing to do is to decide the size and location of the literacy center and i will consider the following when dealing with the size;

1. The dimensions of the room.

2. The number of other learning centers in the space.

3. The number of children in your class or program.

4. The number of children that will be using the literary center at one time.

5. The number of books you would like to provide for children at one time.

For Location:- I will make sure it is located in a relatively quiet area of the classroom. Literacy centers must have a low noise level, but the noise level can rise if children are reading to each other or are listening to an audio book.

The Second thing is to select furniture that makes the space comfortable and organized .The literacy center should invite children to sit down and read a story or practice writing their name. Children who struggle with reading will often refuse to read in places they don't feel comfortable. Will add pillows, stuffed animals, and bean bag chairs to the space to create a relaxed and cozy environment for children. Tables and chairs are also needed in the space to give children a work area in which they can write stories or practice writing sentences.  Will keep the space organized with various book storage units, including book displays, book shelves, and book theme centers. Will try to have at least one book display in the space since books will appeal more to children if they can actually see the book covers. A book bench is also a great way to provide comfortable seating and additional storage and will also consider using a bulletin board room divider to showcase children's stories and writing achievements at a height level they can easily see.

Select materials, tools, and toys for your literacy center that will engage your young learners and support the development of skills like letter identification and phonological awareness

Supplies to be used include:-

1. Lowercase Lacing Letters

2. Uppercase Lacing Letters

3. Magnetic Letter Fishing Game

4. Alphabet Robots  

5. Alphabet Learning Locks

6. Alphabets Sounds Teaching Tubs

7. Carolina Large 5-Shelf Book Display

Another thing is Classroom Rules

Will want keep the rules simple, using positive phrasing, and incorporate visuals as much as possible!

I will do the following;

1. Create a List

2. Keep It Simple

3. Use Positive Phrasing

4. Incorporate Visuals

Lastly, how do i incorporate it. will do the following;

Read LOTS of books. You can read alphabet books or other books that work on listening skills.

Use alphabet puzzles. We love the Melissa & Doug wooden puzzles.

Children love music, so singing the alphabet song is great.

Watch The Letter Factory DVD to introduce children to the alphabet.

Explanation:

Literacy is a vital part of a child's success now and in the future as an adult, which is why a literacy learning center is a must-have for preschool classrooms and child care facilities. Literacy centers help ensure that children have access to a variety of books and literacy tools to practice reading and writing and increase their vocabulary and comprehension skills. Reading also sparks children's imaginations and helps them learn about the world around them.
