What children are doing is associating print with meaning but I have to agree with the poster who suggests that these labels must be co-created. When I observed in Sue Kempton's gorgeous kindergarten room in Denver, the labels were two-tier. Level one--student attempts based on emergent understanding of letters and sounds with an underwriting in conventional spelling. The children in this classroom were writing more than any other kinders I had observed up until that point. Between No More Letter of the week and lots of supported writing experiences, these kiddos were a bloomin' garden of literate folks!
