Question 2

◦ Play can include literacy. Teachers should include reading and writing in play centers, such as the dramatic play area.
◦ Play and literacy are two stages of the same symbolic process. Teachers should gradually guide preschool children from play activities toward more reading and writing experiences.
◦ Play precedes literacy development. Play experiences should be offered well in advance of literacy experiences in the preschool classroom.
