Reflections on Observation Task 1: Environmental in the
Classroom
Read the questions below and choose (1) one to respond to
1. How does environmental print impact students language development, and their
reading and writing abilities?
2. How do students of different reading levels use environmental print?
For the numbers panel low level students use it to count the numbers they know and
try to count the other numbers. Medium level students try to count and acknowledge
the big numbers also they try to use the small numbers in addition. High level
students use the panel to count the numbers above 100 and addition the big
numbers.
3. How does awareness of environmental print impact how students view themselves
as readers?
4. How does a school-home connection (based on environmental print) impact
students' literacy development?
