    Young children thrive in an organized learning center filled with choices that promote emergent writing. Imagine the learning center set up with a range of tools that support hands-on activities filled with colored pencils, paper, crayons, scissors, Play-Doh, stampers, tissue paper berries, and more emergent writing tools. In this course, we take a deep dive into the development of emergent writing skills while gathering a range of visual ideas and hands-on activities that support the critical need for emergent writing. Join the emergent writing movement in pre-kindergarten classrooms.
