Constructive When Providing Feedback The Guided Response Criteria *Be constructive when providing feedback (The questions were well written!) Offer a reflection of your peer’s literacy bag from the perspective of a family member who used it with their child. Describe what the strengths are about their bag for addressing the concept of literacy development. Is there anything you would do differently? Suggest one way that the peer can supplement their bag by including an activity for the non-English speaking child and family. Please use the question about for writting feedback for my peer work below (the answer to the question have to be in your feedback) see attachment

In evaluating your literacy bag, I appreciate the thoughtful approach taken to address early literacy development. As a family member who has utilized this bag with my child, I found several strengths that align well with promoting literacy growth. The inclusion of diverse books and engaging activities fosters a love for reading and supports vocabulary enhancement. The materials are age-appropriate and culturally sensitive, making the experience inviting and meaningful for children from various backgrounds. The interactive elements, such as word cards and storytelling prompts, encourage active participation and reinforce language skills effectively.

One of the notable strengths of your literacy bag is its focus on interactive and multisensory learning. This approach helps in developing phonemic awareness and comprehension skills, which are crucial in early childhood literacy. Additionally, the organization of materials makes it easy for families to navigate and incorporate into daily routines, which enhances practicality and consistency in literacy activities.

If I were to suggest a change, I would consider adding more visual aids, such as picture dictionaries or flashcards, to support children who are visual learners or may have limited vocabulary. This addition could help bridge gaps for children who are still developing foundational language skills, especially for families who speak other languages at home.

To further support non-English speaking children and families, I recommend including an activity that encourages cultural sharing and language exchange. For example, a "family storytelling" activity where parents share a story from their native culture using simple words or pictures could be very beneficial. This activity promotes bilingual development, cultural pride, and strengthens the home-school connection by valuing and incorporating the family’s linguistic backgrounds into literacy development.
