Early Literacy

Georgia Educational Training Agency joins Holy Spirit Preparatory Academy and St. Benedict’s Episcopal School in  following  the State’s recommendations for social distancing during all of our professional development  classes.  Please bring your personal hand sanitizer and kleenexes with you to class.  Please use masks and gloves at your own discretion.  Breaks will be every hour.  

Early Literacy is the first class in THE CRS. The Early Literacy class is crucial for understanding the development of pre-reading skills such as: oral language, vocabulary, phonological awareness, and print awareness. Educators will learn what  skills to teach  and how to teach the skills. Come join us and start the CRS journey. Participants will be empowered with the skills needed to teach reading, writing and spelling.
