Mark Making - Multi-dimensional in the early years.

Mark-making is far more than early writing — it is a powerful form of communication and meaning-making that begins long before children learn to form letters. This workshop explores mark-making as a developmental, expressive, creative, and literacy-building process that helps children understand the world around them.

Educators will discover how to create environments that value children’s marks, offer a wide range of materials, and invite children to explore patterns, symbols, and stories through multiple modes of expression.

• Understand mark-making as communication
