1.1 The role of the teacher in establishing print-rich classrooms is crucial for creating responsive
reading spaces and promoting incidental reading. Here are four key aspects of the teacher's
role:
Creating a print-rich environment: The teacher should strategically design the classroom layout
and displays to include a variety of printed materials such as books, charts, posters, labels, and
word walls. These materials should be easily accessible and visually appealing, enticing students
to engage with print.
Modeling reading behavior: The teacher should serve as a role model by regularly
demonstrating their own reading habits and sharing their enthusiasm for reading. This can be
done through read-aloud sessions, sharing personal reading experiences, and discussing
favorite books. By showcasing their love for reading, teachers inspire students to develop a
positive attitude towards reading.
Facilitating literacy activities: Teachers should plan and organize activities that involve reading
and writing. They can conduct shared reading sessions, guided reading groups, and writing
workshops. Through these activities, teachers can support students in developing their reading
skills, comprehension strategies, and vocabulary.
