Preparing Children for Success With the Common Core State Standards

The Common Core State Standards focus heavily on informational text, with many standards related to experiences with non-fiction. This comprehensive Webinar, hosted by authors Kai-leé Berke and Breeyn Mack, will explore:

  • The progression of language and literacy skills from birth through kindergarten related to gaining information from text
  • Materials and activities to include across interest areas that will support meaningful experiences with informational and non-fiction text
  • Opportunities for weaving interactions with informational and non-fiction text throughout all major parts of the preschool classroom day

Using examples from The Creative Curriculum® and Teaching Strategies GOLD®, this Webinar will focus specifically on the knowledge, skills and behaviors related to interacting with informational and non-fiction text that help lay the foundation for later success with the Common Core State Standards.

NOTE: We do not offer certificates of participation or completion for our Webinars.
