A Message from kristyn
As a 1st grade teacher, I loved teaching children to read. I believed that children learned how to read by reading and writing. As a daycare provider, I started noticing that 3-5 year olds, who were given many early literacy activities, were reading and writing things that the struggling 6-year-old was doing in 1st grade. I then began purposefully teaching 3-5 year olds how to read with a variety of early literacy activities and individualized reading of leveled reading books. These children are now more confident and more successful learners in all areas of life - before they even get to the classroom.
I am thankful to have had the opportunity to influence the learning of so many children. They have been a blessing to me as it is truly a joy to see their success. It is my mission to share with families and educators what I have learned about early literacy, so that more children will be confident and successful learners! |
