Hi! My name is Chris Ann Cocola. I am an Early Childhood Educator and I am currently teaching Pre-K 4 in a public preschool in New Jersey. As you can see from my photos below, I am a collector of children's literature. I enjoy reading to my 4 year old grandson as well as my students. In order to enable children to become successful readers and writers, I strongly believe that by using props along with the books and dressing up as characters from the stories facilitates comprehension and fosters critical thinking skills. Rich vocabulary development, critical thinking skills, and comprehension will evolve through using an array of literacy.
In this blog, I will showcase some of the props I created to go along with the stories read. I created these to use in the classroom as well as to send home with the children to encourage storytelling with their families.
