Description
This session focuses on teaching young children how to write in a fun and engaging way that strengthens their phonics skills and introduces them to the essential reading and writing code. The goal is to give students the freedom to create and write their own sentences beyond just the ABCs, fostering creativity and literacy development. By incorporating movement and drawing on students' background knowledge, they will be able to unlock the codes of writing early. This session will cover a step-by-step writing process that helps children form and write complete sentences.
