These two videos deal with providing and creating literacy rich classroom environments for students! The first video gives pictures and ideas about how to create this literacy rich environment and I think the pictures of different classrooms help to spark ideas on how to arrange your classroom for most efficient use of space to promote literacy. The second video talks more about what should be included in your literacy rich classroom, how it can be arranged and the importance of having options for different students. In one first reader post, it talked about how classrooms can be small and it is hard to fit all the essential literacy centers into the classroom, but I think these two videos give some good insight to arranging literacy centers in classrooms. They also talk about the importance of having a variety of activities for students such as individual reading corners, classroom libraries, writing centers, books on tape, and more to choose from while still getting literacy instruction. I think these videos could be quite helpful when starting to design and create your differentiated literacy areas in your own classroom!
