Question 1
Write a detailed description of how you would implement a literacy play program in a preschool classroom. In your answer, discuss props and the roles of the teacher and peers.
Question 2
With the push for academic achievement at younger ages, maintaining play-based learning environments becomes more difficult. However, considerable research supports the value of play in the areas of cognitive, social, language, and psychomotor development. Using examples of current research findings, write an advocacy letter to the local school superintendent that supports maintaining play-based kindergarten classrooms at local elementary schools in that school district.
