The primary approach would be to address their current needs and concerns. I would establish available and easy access to current reading and writing resources in various formats. The classroom should have in place a print and electronic library with a variety of fiction/nonfiction text available to students through-out the day. I would assist the classroom teacher in establishing a daily routine that would integrate skill building centers and computer centers that support literacy. These centers should be flexible and reflect the instructional needs of the students. The classroom schedule should also include whole class instruction, read aloud, small skills group instruction, story time, and integrate visits to the media center daily.
