August 20: The ABC’s of Early Literacy
Early literacy skills are critical to a child’s early development. Parents and caregivers can give young children a jump start on reading by helping them to develop valuable pre-reading skills that prepare them for learning to read. This workshop will help participants understand the importance of reading on grade level by 3rd grade, the components of emergent literacy and learn simple ways to help children acquire these skills through playing, singing, listening, talking and reading.
Extension Extras for Professionals is a collection of free online series of childcare workshops that provide guidance for early childhood professionals and caregivers of young children. Trainings are eligible for MIRegistry hours.
Certificates for participation are provided upon completion of the class.
Participants have the option to attend and actively participate via computer, or an app on a tablet or smartphone. Attendees can also listen to the presentation via phone (by calling in). Those who choose to call in must contact the instructor for directions on how to be eligible for a certificate.
If multiple people in the same location want to participate in the webinar and need certificates, they have to join the webinar separately or contact the instructor for special instructions to each receive a certificate.
