The teacher in this kindergarten classroom labels everything for the children at the beginning of the year. On this shelf, books are categorized and shelves are labeled with the appropriate title. A Berenstein Bears label indicates the tub that holds the bear's books. Curious George has a tub of his own too!
All other areas of the room sport similar
signs that name the item on the shelf or the item itself in print.
These signs are one way teachers make print meaningful to children
and demonstrate the utility of reading!
Later in the year, as signs wear out, the
teacher may ask the children to reproduce the signs themselves.
