Research on literacy development indicates that CLD students should be bathed in rich and authentic literacy activities from early stages of literacy development. Do this by maximizing their own prior experiences, culture, background knowledge, and reasoning to actively contribute to instruction. You need to remember that begin school, CLD students have often been exposed to many activities that contributed to their literacy development.The first link posted goes into more detail about authentic literacy. It also provides some literacy activities that can be applied in the classroom. The second link posted is a link to a teacher handbook. It not only provides activities, but real models as well.
