Literacy Development and Language Arts mind maps

Literacy development and language arts mind maps

These maps offer different ways into the unit. Reading considers purpose and context, while Phonemic awareness and phonics sets out terms for sounds in words. Critical Literacy looks at how communication media can be used to question social practices. Other maps address developing writing and assessing literacy development.

Study with a map

Start with Reading if you want to explore how a text’s purpose and context relate to the way it is written. Follow its branches, then explain the connections in your own words. For a different focus, use Reading for pleasure or Word level skills.

As you study, note the terms and connections you want to remember. Switch to flashcards on the unit page when you want to check terminology, or try a quiz when you want to practice answering questions. Open a map that fits your current study goal.
