Lesson Planning
Watch the following video from the GROWS Planning
Session. This video is an excellent example of collaborative
lesson planning.
Research has shown that "Collaborative
planning ensures that programs are coherent and curricula
are integrated" (Campbell & Wilson, 2001). The
following strategies are important when designing effective
lesson plans for Family Literacy programs:
| Use books for children. -
You can use any leveled reader when designing lessons,
just be sure that the book fits both the adult and child's
reading level. For the purposes of this training, we'll
be using "Buzz Said the Bee," by Wendy Cheyette
Lewison. |
| Be sure to determine the readability
of text. |
| Don't forget to include vocabulary
lists. - Focus words |
| Consider using sample planning
forms by component. |
