Join me for an excellent conversation with Dr. Chenyi Zhang of Georgia State University. We discuss how to think about writing with preschoolers and six best practices for integrating writing during morning meeting. This is a very pragmatic episode for anyone who teaches pre-K!

Practices Discussed:

Have writing materials on hand

Write the routines

Share the pen

Scaffold writing attempts

Build community

Keep writing explicit and brief
