Observation Task 1

This document discusses using environmental print in early childhood classrooms to support literacy development. It provides an observation table template to document examples of environmental print found in the classroom and ideas for how to build upon them. For example, labeling items with cards and writing tools can help children recognize words and develop writing skills. Discussing classroom rules and rulers with students each week makes them aware of expectations and fosters responsibility. Environmental print exposure impacts students' language, reading, and writing abilities by allowing them to use letter sounds and context clues to read and then write words they see frequently.
