advocacy posting by L Allen

The insight that I have gained in doing my interviews is about the lack of reading materials that are placed in the classroom to promote reading. Although young children are not all able to read, having books placed in the classroom that they can explore with and help them to become familiar with books and how we hold them and read them will help them to better their understanding of how and why we read. This has influenced me to find ways in which I can help get more books into some of these centers and to help children have a better opportunity at reading and learning. My area of interest for my research paper would be The lack of reading material in early childhood classrooms. The other two topics would be the lack of reading materials in the home and the lack of support for reading in the home.

  1. I must say La'Tonya this is true all classroom lack books due to lack of funds to buy updated ones. Some childcare centers will not put books in infant classroom, because they cannot communicate at an early age. What are infants going to do with a book? Infants do not understand what is in the book. Some teachers do not know what book to included in their library. Our children need us to asked questions from those book, and this is encouraging them to think. The children need to learn read,and learn parts of the book, and how to handle it. Some children do not know how to do none of the above. La'Tonya do you think be able to gathered information for this topic? The internet has too little information for you to comply a 12-15 page paper. La' Tonya try restarting your questions, and doing online research. I hate for you to get stuck, and not be able to find information to finish your paper. I would consider rethinking my main topic,and with three sub points.

    2. Great post! At my previous job I worked with toddlers and they didn't take care of there books at all. They would throw them around the room. At my current job I work with 3-5 years old and they treat the books the same way. I though that because the toddlers where younger that was the reason but is not. I feel that we have to teach them to take better care of there books but I do agree with Anissa will you have enough research to do this topic for a 12-15 page paper?
