Learn how to guide young children to expand their story ideas from pretend play to paper with writing, drawing and dictation. We explore how drawing, dictation, and storytelling support children’s reading development as well as their understanding of concepts across the curriculum. We model how to use culturally responsive text sets to motivate and guide children’s development as writers.

Our Prekindergarten and Kindergarten balanced literacy framework is specifically designed to support young children’s growing proficiencies in speaking and listening while immersing them in print-rich encounters with books and opportunities to draw, dictate and represent ideas on paper. Each of the high impact literacy practices in our framework have a long tradition and extensive research base. Each learning lab deepens teachers’ knowledge on the connection between oral language and reading and writing. We will customize a series to fit the needs of your school or district.

Our K-3rd grade balanced literacy framework is specifically designed to support teachers in an in-depth study of high impact literacy practices with a long tradition and strong research base. Late kindergarten and early first grade are times of rapid development as children make significant leaps in reading and writing skills. During this time instruction shifts to allow longer periods of time for print based reading and writing. Each learning lab deepens knowledge about an individual instructional routine and the developmental continuum of reading and writing. We will customize a series to fit the needs of your school or district.
