Document Summary
Invite living with elements of symbolic representation and literacy. When you provide children w/ multiple invitations to construct, express and reflect on their thoughts and feelings you advance their understandings of symbolic representation and literacy. When you offer children materials to present a familiar idea in a new medium, they"ll be faced w/ new challenges for something in which they already have an interest and investment. Their understandings will deepen and expand and they become comfortable with the world of symbolic representation and visual literacy. And are likely to use them with disrespect. *** children need a visual reminder of how and where to store work so they can focus and move forward with representational work involving literacy and the visual arts. Most have a book area: but not many are encouraged to move books around!!! We want to see all the ways where printed word can be useful around the room.
