98. Here’s How I Introduce Writing
Update: 2025-08-21
Description
A common mistake in kindergarten is starting writing too soon. In this episode, I’m walking you through what I actually do in the first month before introducing Writer’s Workshop - and why skipping these steps can lead to frustration for everyone (you included!). Writing in kindergarten is a journey and it takes time. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s confidence, progress, and connection. I’ll share how I set realistic expectations and build a strong foundation that leads to joyful, engaged writers later on.
In this episode I share:
- Build fine motor skills with my Cutting Academy
- Teach drawing step-by-step using lines, shapes, and detail
- Strengthen oral storytelling and language skills with daily warm-ups
