It is a teacher's and parent's responsibility to develop and encourage these activities in the early years, and if this is done in a effective manner, the children will seek out their own ways to have authentic literacy experiences.swohrlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06705805677898793867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782369418376452139.post-70739029590331857622011-09-28T19:47:00.831-07:002011-09-28T19:47:00.831-07:00Wow!

This is a great resource for parents and teachers to learn how to pick literature that children will enjoy. I think its important to know that having good literature can lead to authentic writing. If a child is reading uninteresting and monotonous books, and completing worksheets and copying text they will not develop a love of reading or writing. It is important to incorporate literature that children will be interested and that will get their creative juices flowing.

One example that you put for using authentic text is one that I am a big fan of. That is writing made up stories. This example definitely covers the three qualities you listed in the beginning. To write a child has to "expand" their minds, find an "interpretation" that fits them best, and form a "connection" that comes from either real life or made-up experiences.A Teacher's Literary Blobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480933090227094499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782369418376452139.post-29775224454343887972011-09-28T16:33:25.634-07:002011-09-28T16:33:25.634-07:00I really liked the importance you put on communica...I really liked the importance you put on communication through text. It is so important that we find books that will not only excite the children but that it will inspire communication. it is great that we spend time reading to the children and then seeing what they are getting out of the text. We want to make sure that they are comprehending what the book was about and also understanding what the point of the lesson was about.Hollie Wilkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10411359788639297667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782369418376452139.post-89116443432139351882011-09-28T09:59:32.929-07:002011-09-28T09:59:32.929-07:00What an extensive post!

To present a challenge and a question, you are sure to get the parent's (or educator's) attention. From there, it is nice to see a concise list of some qualities of authentic text right away. These aspect catch the attention of the ready quickly and makes for a comfortable transition into the lengthier bulk of the post. One of my favorite lines in this post is "To really cement important writing skills, it must be used in an authentic and meaningful way." <br />Great job!Miss Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614599988205675505noreply@blogger.com
