This post correlates with my discussion board in BlackBoard from week 1
I am a preK teacher and it is very rare to see my students read... but this doesn't mean they're illiterate. Literacy is the ability to interact with information represented by symbols and often times, that interaction leads to future readers. Examples of literacy I see everyday include the following: Matching , objects-to-objects, pictures-to-objects, and pictures-to-pictures, tracing shapes and labeling them as real-life objects, explaining pictures and drawings, and of course, demonstration of letter and number recognition/recall. There are so many other factors that encompas literacy, but for now, my main understanding of the concept stands as the interaction between a person and symbols.
