Workshop Details

Early childhood education is rich with literacy and language. How do we effectively and developmentally appropriately grow fluent readers and writers from the start? We will examine the significant relationships between language comprehension and word recognition to develop reading comprehension with our youngest learners. We will explore effective, evidence-based strategies for engaging in intentional teaching and learning across the curriculum, including play.

Recertification Certificate

Recertification Certificates (5 points) will be given at the end of the PD workshop series after completion of an electronic exit survey.
