Welcome: A Place to Start
This year we were inspired to create a recipe book of all our favourite ideas for teaching a balanced literacy diet to our students. As a mom-on-the-go (and in the midst of moving) I decided to create a virtual recipe book that could be accessed by all where-ever/when-ever. Please feel free to navigate around the site and explore/add to your own repetoire of great literacy ideas.

The Pyramids:
The Literacy Diet Website (www.LitDiet.org) points out that the foundational building blocks for Reading Comprehension and Written Expression can be divided into 3 basic components on a pyramid: Language Related Skills (Blue); Print Related Skills (Yellow); and Teaching Foundation Skills (Grey).
The recipes have been divided between Language Related Skills; Print Related Skills and Teaching Foundation Skills (see tabs on top). |
