Kindergarteners develop their reading and writing skills at different stages. They bring in a range of skills and abilities. Some students might be able to read and write their own names while others might be able to decode some words. Yet other students are able to read chapter books independently. We celebrate their developmental stage while giving them the support they need to continue to grow and emerge as learners.
