One area that I am going to tackle when we return from break is Concepts of Print. For some reason, about a third of my students are not performing at grade level. This may seem like no big deal but next trimester the benchmark is for each student to score 90% on this benchmark.
We use ESGI's Concept of Print as our assessment. (Go, here to learn more about ESGI.) So, I created this to help us.

In the meantime, here is a sample of the anchor chart I made for one of my most missed questions on this assessment.

I LOVE the anchor chart! Very cute! Whenever I read a book to the class, we always review concepts of print. Repetition is key! Your poster will make a wonderful addition to my print-rich room! Thanks again!

I like touse a lot of little booklets that the kiddos can take home. We review front and back cover, tracking print, etc.

I constantly bring up concepts of print whenever reading. Repeat, repeat, repeat. I think the anchor chart is great, and will be using that next year!

Love this! We have been struggling with this a lot too so out of desperation I recorded my students pointing out all the parts and giving multiple examples. My kids love to watch themselves and it has really helped!

Cute graphics on your anchor chart. I'm sure the kids will remember this now! Renee
ReplyDeleteWhen I talk about an author i have them write on their palm.(We do a lot of 'palm writing' during circle time.) When I talk about illustrator i have them draw a picture on thr back of their hand. I was afraid it would confuse them more but they use it when i ask them what an author does.
ReplyDeleteWe also do a lot of work in class on concepts of print ... so much so that now when I pick up any book, my kiddies hands shoot straight up as they know I am going to ask them concepts about print questions...too cute. I really love your poster, I will be using it in our classroom this term and I am sure your kiddies will progress in no time with their fabulous poster and anchor chart!

Good Morning Mrs Rubie
I have a Concepts of Print Bingo game that I think makes practicing this really fun! It has pictures that are a lot like yours on the different bingo squares, and the kids have to find them and cover them up when the bingo caller says them. It's pretty neat, I think! It's a five dollar download, and available at:

Great ideas! I also have an author writing and illustrator center which helps sometimes solidify the language. So fun to see when they pick it up. isn't it!?

LOVE your charts! I wanted to share a little "ditty" I use--that could accompany your who's who chart (sorry, I don't know where it's from):
