Welcome!
I'm looking forward to our time together. There are many paths to literacy and if we as educators can provide our students an opportunity to experience them they can discover which ones work. Over the 3 sessions we will play with storytelling, picture books, the visual arts, music, movement games and acting all in support of developing literacy skills. It should be quite an adventure!
