Balanced Literacy

• Balanced literacy is a structure that teaches independence

and gives children the skills needed to create a lifetime love of reading and writing.

• It consists of five tasks that are introduced individually. When

introduced to each task, the children discuss what it looks like, sounds like, and feels like to engage in the activity independently. Children will work on building stamina so they are successful at being independent while doing that task. THE FIVE T ASKS:

1. Read to Self

• 2. Work on Writing
