 Kim incorporates literacy into a discussion of classroom rules as she points to pictures and words on the Classroom Rules chart. Other literacy props: — Children have a visual literacy reminder to STOP at the door. — ‘Reading’ the Daily Schedule helps preschoolers keep track of time, with a clock as an aid to the adults, and a few of the older children. To the right of Kim is an alphabet—with sign language letters. Many letter signs help children kinesthetically remember how to make alphabet letters.
