Reading and writing happens spontaneously in the Children’s House and expands into the elementary environments. What approaches have we learned for those children for whom this does not occur? At the other end of the spectrum, how do we challenge children who seem to read effortlessly and who need more advanced opportunities to develop reading and writing skills. This conference offers an in-depth exploration of reading and writing fiction and nonfiction, storytelling, and weaving poetry throughout the years for children from Casa through adolescence. At the same time we will explore techniques and tools for teachers to implement within their classrooms and provide support to teachers who need to reach all kinds of children. A hands-on workshop on bookmaking will enrich the guide’s skills at making classroom materials and assisting the child as author with creative expression at all levels.
