His presentation, “Connecting the Dots” focuses on the links among the arts, early literacy and developing self esteem in young children. The role of active listening and the various forms of self expression are tied together and presented as ways to enhance early literacy experiences with the goal of fostering a positive emotional attachment to books and reading in the very young.
