Chapter four on emerging literacy was very inspiring. It lent guidance to me in delivering strong and encouraging reading lessons. I agree with interrelating reading and writing in the classroom during instruction. The concept covered in class as well as the text are some that I plan on modeling my reading lessons after. Having environmental print on the wall of my classroom that are easily recognizable is a great way to encourage students to read. All in all I found chapter four to be very informative and I will reference it in the future lesson plans.
Circular stories are very entertaining and are a great tool in catching the attention of young readers. Creating a circular story proved to be a great exercise in imagination and connecting ideas.

I strongly agree with your #2 blog on emerging literacy. It is extremly imperative to emphasize reading and writing in our classrooms. In my opinion, teachers should not only teach about reading and writing, but definetely have that environmental print present in the classroom. We also need to inform that reading and writing is an extreme necessity in the real world, and not only in the classroom.
