Foundations: English/Language Arts

Young children must have the opportunity to do more than simply learn to read and write. They need adults who provide experiences that make literacy enjoyable. The Indiana Early Learning Foundations were designed to support teachers, parents, caregivers, and other professional personnel as they develop appropriate experiences for young children. During this workshop, we will be talking about all things English/Language arts, as it relates to the Foundations: communication process, early reading, and early writing. Professionals will know how to use knowledge of language and literacy content, concepts and learning trajectories to design the curriculum and learning environments. Creating age-appropriate language and literacy learning experiences, while utilizing the Foundations, will be the focus of this workshop.
