Read the questions below and choose (1) one to respond to

1. How does environmental print impact students’ language development, and their reading
and writing abilities?
The students learn the whole word while walking in the classroom because it has the picture of the
object and students walk past the thing they want to.

2. How do students of different reading levels use environmental print?

The students with a high level of learning would be able to read the environmental print
and the students who cant read or is difficult for them can look at the images of the pictures
to identify the object written on the paper.
3. How does awareness of environmental print impact how students view themselves as
readers?
Students get encouraged to read more when they are able to read the environmental print.
4. How does a school-home connection (based on environmental print) impact students'
literacy development?
Students can look at different objects in their home environment and name them or write them, or
the students can read the names of the objects in the classroom, so it helps with the students
reading and writing.
