Everyday Literacies

Everday Literacies is exactly what it means.  Everyday literacies is the print that children come into contact with on a day to day basis. 
In my classroom I have a wall of environmental print. These are posters that I made myself out of different things in the newspaper, such as people, places, even food ads, and road signs.  I find that I and the kids refer to the wall quite a bit. It is so helpful and the kids can read more of it than they think because they are so used to seeing such print around their home, stores, and town. 
I have decided it is time to remake my posters and update them since they are a little fadded.  A summer task...after grad school!
