98. Here’s How I Introduce Writing

A common mistake in kindergarten is starting writing too soon. In this episode, I’m walking you through what I actually do in the first month before introducing Writer’s Workshop - and why skipping these steps can lead to frustration for everyone (you included!). Writing in kindergarten is a journey and it takes time. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s confidence, progress, and connection. I’ll share how I set realistic expectations and build a strong foundation that leads to joyful, engaged writers later on.In this episode I share:Build fine motor skills with my Cutting Academy Teach drawing step-by-step using lines, shapes, and detailStrengthen oral storytelling and language skills with daily warm-upsResources:First Month of Kindergarten Success Kit | Back to School Activities Mega BundleFine Motor Skills Products BUNDLE - Handwriting & Learning to Draw & CutWriting Warm Up Slides | Oral language development & oral literacy skillsConnect with Zeba:Instagram - @kindergartencafeFacebook - @kindergartencafeWebsite - www.kindergartencafe.orgTik Tok - @kindergartencafeMentioned in this episode:First Month of Kindergarten Success KitGrab your First Month of Kindergarten Success Kit today on TPT or on my website!
