Join Capstone Professional authors Molly Cochell and Laura Fullmer for a 30-minute webinar chock full of lessons and activities for your kindergarten classroom. Learn how Molly and Laura use the social and active nature of young learners as a springboard for literacy learning! As a kindergarten teacher, you know that a child's first years of school should be engaging, active, social and fun! Yet you most likely feel the pull - challenged to nurture the holistic, exploratory nature of early childhood while teaching with the rigor required for meeting ever-higher literacy standards. Molly and Laura will present their strategies for keeping the play in kindergarten literacy. You will hear their strategies for each stage of the kindergarten year; Building a Literacy Foundation, Engaging in Reading and Writing, and Reading and Writing with Purpose. In this webinar they will share with you a sample of their activities for engaging kindergartners in literacy. See how the authors of English Language Arts the Kindergarten Way use their classroom-tested lessons to help young learners meet literacy goals by building on children’s innate desire to be speakers, readers, and writers.
