Literacy-Rich Environments
Literacy-rich environments, as endorsed by the International Reading Association, have a significant impact on what goes on in the classroom and set the stage for interactions with a wide variety of genres. In the past several years, I’ve supported many teachers and administrators as they work toward creating literacy-rich classrooms across schools and districts that allow for increased interaction with print and literacy learning for students…
Elements of a literacy-rich environment include, but are not limited to:
- classroom libraries that include a variety of genres and text types,
- content posters,
- anchor charts – teacher-made and co-created with students,
- word walls,
- labels,
- literacy workstations,
- writing centers,
- computers,
- display of student work,
- displays of books & information,
- bulletin boards, and
- plenty of opportunity to read, write, listen, and speak.
