Concepts of Print Lesson Plan: Building Early Literacy Foundations
Introduce young learners to the essential skills of print awareness. Through teaching slides, students explore the building blocks of written language. They learn to distinguish letters from words, identify spaces between words, and understand that sentences are made up of words. The slides also highlight punctuation marks such as full stops and question marks, reinforcing how print structures communication.
Developing Early Literacy Through Print Features
This resource goes beyond basic recognition to help children master the full range of print concepts. Learners explore how print is organised and consistent across texts, noticing features such as capital and lowercase letters, titles, headings, and punctuation. They practice tracking text with their finger to build one-to-one correspondence between spoken and written words, and they begin to understand that print conveys meaning across different contexts.
By weaving these elements together, the teaching slides provide a structured pathway for students to develop confidence in handling books, interpreting print, and laying the foundation for fluent reading and comprehension.
