Early childhood classrooms are full of chatter and play. Joy and laughter. And early literacy.
Infant, toddler, and preschool teachers may not "teach reading." But they build the foundation. Early literacy isn't a mystery. It's an open book. Grade-level reading starts with high-quality early childhood education.
Webinar:
Early Literacy Is an Open Book
Recorded Wednesday, March 5, 1 p.m. ET
Literacy is a powerful thing. When you can read and write, you can aspire to anything. But teaching reading — let alone implementing literacy programming for every child — is not easy.
The one absolute is this: Literacy starts early. Reading and writing success is built on a foundation of responsive relationships in the first five years. That's why early childhood educators play a vital role in a child's literacy journey.
In this webinar, we want to explore early childhood educators' roles in literacy. Join us for a conversation featuring Dr. Nicol Russell of Teaching Strategies, Dr. Shurita Tate-Thomas of Missouri State University, and Dominique McCain of Educational First Steps.
