The teacher can then plan intervention activities to improve the childs literacy.In general, the pre-school being an extension of home, the teacher can simulate the literacy-rich environment of home by surrounding the children with lot of pictures and colorful print material on the walls of the classroom and by reading aloud to the children as often as possible.The other things a teacher can do are:Organize activities that allow the children to experiment with language.
