Meeting the Challenges of Teaching Literacy to Very Young English Learners

OVERVIEW

When you are four years old, it can be scary to walk into a classroom for the first time and be expected to learn to read and write in English. You hear unfamiliar sounds, your favorite animal or food is called something different, and you are unsure how to act. Can you play and talk? Students at this age are eager and curious but also easily distracted. As their teachers, you are challenged to capture their attention and teach them literacy concepts in English that they may not know in their primary language. This webinar will explore strategies to meet these challenges.
