Children generally begin learning to write in the Early Years (known in EFL as Very Young Learners and elsewhere as Early Childhood and/or PreSchool) or in the first grades of Lower Primary (known variously as Reception, Infant School and even Grammar School). However, writing at this level is not so much writing (composition) as it is writing (handwriting) and so should be seen by educators as a combination of fine-motor development with emerging literacy and numeracy rather than as language acquisition and development.
Join us in this one-hour introductory overview of the underlying educational principles with immediately applicable activities for all classroom teachers, including both English and Spanish.
This is a one-hour online video-conferencing session; an in-person, face-to-face option is also available. A C1 or higher level of English is assumed.
