The next units in reading and writing are about connecting print and literacy to each other in the spirit of building and creating and play. For the kindergarten student, much of life is about building and creating. Children will find many ways to open doors to play. It is as essential to them as air itself, which is why we use play in these units to foster literacy development. In recent years, there has been some polarization regarding those teachers who feel strongly connected to the idea of play in the kindergarten classroom and others who feel school must be purely "academic". Studies show a play based program better prepares children for not only the primary division but the junior division as well.
