This
week's Clip of the Week is from the HeadsUp! Reading class
on Playing. The video clip emphasizes
the following key points:
- Literacy-rich
play uses meaningful context to develop children's
literacy skills
- Teachers
take on different roles in children's play
depending on the situation, the needs of the
children and the goals of the teacher
- Teachers
who are intentional about using play to promote
language and literacy goals move in and out
of these roles throughout the day and sometimes
within a single play experience
This
week's Video Focus features one video clip for
you to review. Watch the clip, then complete
