Is this art or is this literacy?
What you see on the table looks a little like art - markers, scissors, colorful paint chips being glued onto equally colorful construction paper. Believe it or not, this is literacy development. The children are using office supplies and writing with markers. Can we read what they write? Rarely, but that's beside the point. All of the marks they make that look like scribbles will continue to refine and refine until they resemble the marks we make for letters in our language, then they'll actually resemble letters. It's a long slow process and lucky for these kiddos, we give them plenty of time and opportunity to develop.
