Arkansas Foundations of Reading Test (FORT)

What can teachers plan as daily literacy activities?

1. Activities only in reading class

2. Limited scope activities

3. Activities across subject areas

4. No daily activities

The correct answer is: Activities across subject areas

Teachers can plan activities across subject areas as daily literacy activities because literacy skills are essential in all areas of learning. Integrating literacy into subjects like science, social studies, and even mathematics helps reinforce reading and writing skills, making them more meaningful and applicable to students' experiences. For example, reading nonfiction texts in science can enhance comprehension skills while expanding knowledge of scientific concepts. This approach not only aids in the development of literacy but also supports overall cognitive growth by encouraging students to make connections between different disciplines. By designing activities that promote literacy beyond just the reading class, teachers can foster a more comprehensive and engaging learning environment.
