5 Environmental Print Printables

5 Environmental Print Activities for Preschool and Kindergarten

You don’t have to be a teacher to know that young children begin to “read” signs before they can actually read. This is environmental print at work. Think about your own children or children you know who can tell you what a stop sign says or identify restaurant logos long before they are formally reading. You can use one of these environmental print printables in the classroom to support the development of emergent literacy skills.

Using environmental print activities in the classroom that are meaningful to kids helps make new concepts- like letters and words, easier to learn.

  1. Vanessa, you have broaden my horizon as a teacher, ideas are excellent and appropriate for young children. Materials offer enhancement academically and developmentally. The environmental print promotes reading, and a great conversational piece that will encourage children to use their cognitive development. I will use materials from your website, this will help me to organize and design a learner centered classroom. Classroom management , using pictures for helpers chart organizing shelves, and designing areas for access and exploration for young learners.
    Thanks for all your ideas
