Environmental Print in Early Education

This document discusses an observation task involving environmental print in an early childhood classroom. The task involves documenting examples of environmental print found in the classroom and ideas for further developing activities around them. One example involves writing numbers to help children learn proper number formation and pronunciation. Another focuses on shapes and colors to compare and color neatly. A third asks children to arrange items on paper to encourage coordination and creativity while thinking critically. The reflection questions how environmental print impacts language development and reading/writing abilities. Interacting with environmental print in a sociocultural context can develop logographic reading skills, for example through activities where teachers help children properly learn writing and reading.

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?

Young children are surrounded by environmental print on a daily basis. Through their visual
exploration of environmental print. The aim of this review is to examine the question of whether
environmental print has value as a literacy learning resource, and if so, the mechanisms by which
it promotes literacy development. It is shown that interactions with environmental print in the
child's sociocultural context can develop their logographic reading skills. For example, the
teacher or parent should make a lot of activities for the children even learn how to write and
reading properly.
