Literacy skills are capitalized on in early childhood programs. Children are quickly acquiring the skills they need to become emergent readers and writers. A literacy center is a key learning center to include in a successful early childhood program for this very reason. Along with the literacy center, picture books are staples in early childhood programs. This training will discuss the importance of the literacy center and picture books along with quality activities and suggestions, how to implement or revamp centers, and how to use centers and picture books most effectively. This course will also include discussion boards, videos, and an assignment.
Learning Outcomes:
  • State important factors in deciding what to include in a literacy center
  • Explain what sight words are and how literacy centers can help with the acquisition of these words
  • Describe how literacy centers develop phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and vocabulary skills
  • Apply the knowledge gained from this course in developing quality literacy learning centers
