Lit in the classroom

After taking a look on everyone's personal definition of literacy, I'm finding that we all pretty much agree that literacy includes many aspects such a fluency, decoding, spelling, vocabulary etc. Every single one of us stated that there was more to literacy than just defining it as reading and writing. We all know there is so much more to it and a lot more work involved in achieving literacy.
I see literacy all day/every day in my placement. Every project, activity, worksheet, subject has reading involved. Their entire mornings are spend doing various reading and writing activities including grammar, summarizing, reading from science books and social studies books, and doing reading activities online. In the second half of the day, my CT often reads to the class after recess to settle them down and usually it will have something to do with the science lesson that she is about to teacher. She really gets the students interactive while she reads out loud to them by stopping and asking them comprehensive questions throughout the book.
I actually want my the literacy environment in my classroom to be a lot like my placements. She has the class split up into reading groups with students that are at each others levels but gives each group tasks in order to encourage better reading. I work a lot with the lower leveled readers. One of the students in that group has the case of the "ums" which means that every time she reads and stops for a second she say "um." My CT made it a goal for her to cut down her use of "um." She also has the group act as the "Reading Police" And when a student makes a mistake the group has them stop and read the sentence again so they can correct themselves. This helps them improve their fluency and comprehension overall because they are reading the sentence correctly the second time. Basically, I want my students to be exposed to reading as much as my CT exposes her students. She makes reading an essential part of those students daily lives. They will never go through a day without reading something and discussing questions from the reading or summarizing what was just read or writing a paper on it.
