How is drawing connected with reading and writing in the developing literacy of young children?

This week, we will examine the stages of drawing and writing and the connections between them. By the end of this module, you will be able to:

• Describe the development of drawing and writing from infancy through 9 years.
• Explain how children use symbols in their drawing, and the connection to literacy development.
• Design a literacy activity that uses the visual arts (drawing, painting) for your curriculum theme.
