Action Plan

The Action Plan offers tools to help you practice new skills and plan new activities that promote early literacy. Each week's Action Plan will focus on ideas or concepts reviewed in this week's HeadsUp! Reading class.

The Action Plan has four parts:

• My Thoughts: Some things to think about before you plan a new activity or idea.
  
  
• My Plan: An outline to help you gather and prepare the materials you will need for the activity
  
  
• My Results: Some questions to help you reflect on how the activity went, what impact it made on children’s learning, and what you might do differently in the future.
  
  
• Teachers Try This! Simple techniques that teachers can try right away to promote early literacy.
  

To complete the Action Plan, you can:

1. Print a blank Action Plan and complete it with pen or pencil
   
   
2. Complete all or part of the Action Plan on-line, print a copy for yourself, and click the submit button to save it. You can also retrieve your Action Plan later to update it or print it.
