Modeled Strategy:
The goal of today's base camp lesson strategy, modeling print knowledge and alphabet knowledge, is to help the children gain a better understanding of these two concepts. Alphabet knowledge is vital for success in reading and writing because it supports children's understanding of letter-sound relationships (p86). Children need to know the letters of the alphabet both lower and upper case. They need to recognize the letters and corresponding sounds each letter makes. This aids in becoming aware of print knowledge. Print knowledge is the core to understanding that words have meaning, which children need to understand to read (87).
