This workshop will provide information on how to bridge the home language and English by making cultural connections, and ensure children remain motivated during this stage of pre-literacy. Learning to read is promoted by close and nurturing relationships with adults who foster ineractions with interesting and engaging print.
Participants will:
Gain a deeper understanding of key concepts of the Reading strand that support the English-Language Development (ELD) domain within the California Preschool Learning Foundations, Volume 1 and the California Preschool Curriculum Framework, Volume 1
Observe, read, and discuss the developmental continuum from the English-Language Development (ELD) domain
