Kindergarten+Literacy

The Following pictures show the kindergarten set up of literacy at Mount Hope Elementary.

As you can see, the kids literacy is very teacher based, however they do get time to embrace literacy and reading on their own. Everything about the morning routine incorporates literacy. Whether it is figuring out what day of the week it is or what the weather is like, each of these can be seen in both picture form as well as written form.

Literacy is heavily reliant on teacher and student interaction while in kindergarten. Because this is the age they start learning how to read, the teacher is the most important resource to literacy that these 4-5 year olds will have.
