Labeled Classroom
Have you heard of write the room? Many teachers are doing this now as a literacy center......which is awesome to help with writing skills. Words are printed with the picture beside of it and put up around the room. Most of the time these are theme related. They are put up on the first day of the theme and then taken down at the end of the unit.
I believe to have a well rounded literacy classroom there should be labels up for a large portion of the classroom to help students identify objects of everyday use. Many classrooms do this for supplies, but not for objects such as doors, windows, desks etc.
These objects are just as important to learning as themed unit literacy.
Maybe start off small and then add onto your labels. Talk to your administrators about labeling the school to build a literacy based environment.
