Young children are naturally curious about language and eager to discover how print works. They delight in playing with sounds through songs, poetry, rhymes, and engaging books—making the early years the perfect time to build a strong foundation for reading and writing.

Join us for this interactive day of professional learning as we discuss what young learners need to understand about letters, sounds, words, and print concepts. You’ll deepen your knowledge of early literacy development while experiencing practical, hands-on instructional strategies that you can implement in your classroom the very next day.
