I hope to interview the
teachers to learn about
strategies they use in the
Teacher/ Week 1 of data classroom to promote
Director collection literacy. This will allow me to
Interview provide new activities for the
children to try in school and
also use these literacy
activities/games at home. I
want to make sure the
activities I provide are
different than anything they
currently use and I would
like to have some
information about the
children and about how
many children are in each
center so I can create the
literacy activities to work
within the classroom.

I can also ask the teachers

what skills they feel their
students may need to work
on to improve their literacy
and provide games/activities
that work on that aspect of
literacy.

Once all of the consent forms

are returned, I plan on
sending out a short survey to

Observation collection school setting. I think it is
important for the children to
see that these skills/literacy

everywhere rather than just
at home or just at school.

I plan on coming in and

possible

used the literacy kits and will
ask them a few short

Interviews collection interviews with the
teachers/directors about
their experience with the

school.
