I believe children learn best through play and fun. For thirty plus years, I have relied upon this knowledge to help young children learn. In my experience, kids want to read, but sometimes the mechanics seem overwhelming.

Students will be shown how to annotate on their device, so they can engage in interactive lessons. If a child has a device, such as Chromebook, where annotation is not possible, they will need a white board and marker. Occasionally they may need paper and a marker or crayon. Pencil will not show up through the camera when I am trying to check a child's work. Books may be requested in individual cases.
