3 Essentials of a Literate Environment
• Getting to Know Literacy Learners• Selecting Texts• Literacy Instruction (Interactive
Perspective, Critical Perspective, and Response Perspective)

Getting to Know Literacy Learners
• Teachers must motivate students to want to read and have fun while doing it.
• In order to create a literate environment, teachers must get to know the children in their classrooms (Laureate Education, 2010a).
• Teachers can begin to understand more about their students through interacting with families, talking to students, and interest inventories.

Getting to Know Literacy Learners
• Assessing both cognitive and metacognitive aspects is crucial in teaching students because for students to become effective life-long learners they must have both the skill and the will to read (Johns & Lenski, 1994).
Activities for Getting to Know Literacy Learners
• Me Stew• Literacy Autobiographies• Interest Surveys• Developmental Reading
Assessment• Sight Word Assessment

Selecting TextThe following are to be
considered when selecting texts:
• Genre• Dimensions of
Difficulty• Text Sources• Size of Print• Text Length
A very useful tool to use when selecting a text is the LITERARY MATRIX. This tool helps teachers to balance the text and difficulty of the text.

Literacy Perspectives• All three perspectives are key components
in creating a literate envrionment (Laureate Environment, 2009).
• Once teachers know their students, they need to determine what they are going to do with those texts, and for those students to help them become literate learners (Laureate Education, 2009).

Interactive Perspective• Teaching students how to read and become
strategic processors and thinkers (Laureate Education, 2010).
• Use schema as a strategy for comprehension.• Students learn to choose most effective strategy
when reading, use different strategies for different types of text, and make predictions, visualize, and make sense of text.

Critical Perspective• Teaching students to critically examine
text. To look at text from a different perspective (Laureate Education, 2009).
• Being able to have a discussion with others about the different meanings a text might have and teaching the potentially critically-literate learner how to think flexibly about it.

Response Perspective• This perspective gives students the
opportunity to experience and respond to text (Laureate Education, 2009).
• A student is who responsive to a book can be transformed by its message (Laureate Education, 2009).

Comprehension is the goal of reading; it’s the reason people read. Students must understand what they’re reading to learn from the experience, they must make sense of the words in text to maintain interest; and they must enjoy reading to become life long readers (Tompkins, 2010)
