"If our students are not reading and composing with various electronic technologies, then they are illiterate. They are not just unprepared for the future, they are illiterate right now, in our current time and context.

Just Spoken Word
Most conversations use 1000 of 5000 common words
More Rare words come through written word
Conversely - That will only provide 72% of the words in a book to form understanding

Reading / Read Aloud
Could not find original copyright - Likely Jim Trelease
“Inside the ear these words collect in a reservoir called the listening vocabulary. Eventually, if you pour enough words into it, the reservoir starts to overflow—pouring words into the speaking vocabulary, reading vocabulary, and writing vocabulary. And all have their origin in the listening vocabulary.”

14Friday, July 1, 2011Value interactions at home - including continued use of tools available at home.sound and word play What word, rhythm, and rhyming games do adults play with childrenmake their learning visible to others (e.g., maps, diagrams, photographs, models, and drawings)?We need to model the use of language to stimulate learning and linguistic creativity
Play
“Play is the “work” of children. Through play, children interact with, explore, and make sense of the world around them. Children find joy and fulfilment in play, whether they are playing by themselves or in groups.” BC Ministry of Education - Early Learning Framework 2008

Examples to follow
The idea of the examples is just examples. Many of the tools are could be used in a variety of ways.
