Why participate?
Kindergarten children’s enthusiasm for life is precious. When they begin writing they can feel an overwhelming sense of freedom, control and success if we give them the tools…and when we’re successful, their enthusiasm for writing blossoms.
Part 3 will:
-shine a light on those ‘tools’ (writing processes and strategies, conventions and forms,)
- show how children’s writing success (when taught within a Balanced Literacy framework) is inextricably linked to their reading.
This course is self-paced.
Please note: this course is available from 28/11/2022 to 19/12/2022. Extensions for Online: You're teaching Kindergarten? It’s child’s play! 3 cannot be granted unless under exceptional circumstances at PETAA’s discretion.
