Newsletter Project #2: Effective Literacy “Roy the Zebra”
Roy the Zebra (https://www.roythezebra.com/about- reading-with-roy.html) is a
free resource for teachers and students. This website supports emerging reader
with their literacy development and skills. It is great to use both as a
resources for teachers at school and by parents at home. It’s free to join and
upon signing up, you become of member of the club Roy receiving recent publications
on the site.
Roy the Zebra targets the beginning
readers ages 5 to 7. This early involvement is a resourceful one as it focuses
more on the readers who aren’t progressing as expected. Ages 5 to 7 are
attending K5 up to 2nd grade obviously. In these early grades,
learners are beginning to learn basics of literacy which will later on be
developed as learners experience more on literacy skills. Roy the Zebra
introduces interesting and different ways of presenting learning skills that
help to build up reading and spelling confidence. Establishing an early love of
reading helps young learners develop a reasonable sense to enjoy what they
read. When there is enjoyment in the learning process, students are more likely
to succeed and eventually progress to a level that is expected of their ages
and grade levels.
On the website Roy the Zebra, there
are free and printable worksheet that are available for learners at the early
grades. It provides great worksheets for beginning readers that focus on
letters, punctuation marks, rhyming words, sentences, and many other great skills
for learners in the early grades. There are also sample lesson plans with
reading games available for members of the Club Roy to utilize both in the
classroom and at home.
The presentation of learning topics
and skills are focused on launching a passionate sense towards reading
following the nine mini chapters of Roy the Zebra. When there is an early
development of interest in reading, literacy skills are more likely to be
achieved with fruitful results in the school and home setting. Roy the Zebra
assists teachers and fabricates a great bond between the school and parents as
parents will be well aware of skills learning at school. Knowing such, parents
can assist their own learners from home with skills currently taught and
learned at school.
