The early literacy landscape is filled with phonics, decoding skills, and all the components of Structured Literacy instruction. Is there room for writing? Our three Literacy Talks hosts say, “Yes!” In this episode, educators will learn more about teaching fundamental writing skills all along the literacy pathway. From the five critical writing skills early learners need to develop to the eventual skills they’ll need to learn writing craft, this episode connects the dots among reading, oral language, and writing. It’s a fascinating discussion about looking at literacy learning in a broader and more meaningful context.
