Ever since I started teaching 30+ years ago and encouraged my first graders as well as my own children to write letters to grandparents, thank you notes to friends and love ones and grocery lists for me, I have believed that every scribble had an intense meaning and when I would encourage my students or children to “read” back what their scribbles, labels, words and sentences said, the kiddos knew the meaning of these symbols, scribbles and letters! I am a firm believer that “Kid Writing” is an important piece of emergent reading and writing and the more you read, the better you read and vice versa!
