Promoting Literacy and Language Development in Young Children
Description: With the increased emphasis on literacy development and the implementation of PALS PreK, teachers need strategies to embed literacy in developmentally appropriate play-based, language-rich routines and activities throughout the day.
We will discuss ways to "put it all together"--to foster literacy, language, social emotional development and make learning meaningful and fun for young children.
Presenters: Sharon Toellner: Curriculum Specialist and Joan Rice: EC Program Support
