I
value and encourage writing with children of
all ages.
I can engage children
in writing experiences.

Conventional writing
is expressing thoughts and ideas with agreed-upon
symbols.
Writing deepens and
expands all of a child’s early literacy skills
and abilities.
Children’s engagement
in writing supports their development of skills
that are important predictors of reading ability:
print awareness, alphabet knowledge, phonological
awareness and oral language development.
Creating books is
an effective strategy for promoting children’s
writing skills and their interest in reading. |
Can describe ways
that writing supports reading for infants,
toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarteners.
Can name one idea
for helping children to create their own books.
