A variety of literacy activities that make classes fun

Although it is now a common and obvious word, 'literacy' is always important, and there is still a shortage of literacy classes that "students can enjoy and immerse themselves in," so the authors explored diverse class ideas.
So, we read books together that children can enjoy or relate to, and we also tried out different activities such as drawing, board games, quizzes, reading plays, and interviews.
Additionally, for children interested in digital media, we also conducted classes using YouTube videos, Google Earth, Sometrend, and Clova Dubbing.
We have collected examples of classes where students developed their literacy skills through reading, writing, and thinking while having fun participating.
Implementing even one or two of these teaching methods will provide students with a meaningful educational experience.


Smart class tips for situation-specific book curation and digital literacy

To create engaging classes, it's just as important to present materials that are relevant to students' level as it is to plan innovative activities.
As teacher-librarians, the authors draw on their expertise and experience to select and provide books that can be used as primary materials or as additional references in each class.
In addition, we introduce digital media and edutech that can be used as tools for digital literacy education, which is being emphasized these days.
In particular, classes where students create their own content using Tuning, Littlely, ChatterPix, Chrome Music Lab, and Storyplotter will provide an opportunity for students to actively and proactively participate in class while developing digital literacy skills.


Teaching know-how that only teachers who have thought about and researched teaching can impart.

The authors came together to create a tool that would provide practical assistance to teachers in the field when conducting literacy classes.
Seven teachers taught classes at their respective schools, organized the content, and then gathered together to review the content and change the class or content.
As a result, the book contains teaching know-how that teachers who are hesitant about teaching literacy can easily try.
We tried to concisely introduce only the key points of the class, but we organized it so that the overall process of the class could be easily understood.
It introduces various class examples, but carefully guides the teacher's role in each class process.
Additionally, we provided traces of our thoughts during class and tips that can be used in different situations so that you can refer to them when actually teaching.


Vivid activity sheets that can be used right away in class

As we present various teaching tools, it can be daunting to use unfamiliar teaching tools in class.
With this in mind, the authors have selected and introduced only those courses that can be fully utilized in the classroom.
The course curriculum is explained in an easy-to-understand manner, and the materials used in each class are provided as is.
In particular, since the activity sheets and student examples used in actual classes are specific, you will be able to design classes by referring to these materials.
If you modify it appropriately to suit the class situation or target audience, you will be able to complete literacy classes in no time.
