Action Plan

The Action Plan offers tools to help you practice new skills and plan new activities that promote early literacy. This weeks Action Plan focuses on how adding books, writing materials and print materials to your environment can promote early literacy experiences for children.

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.
