Abstract

Teachers today are faced with the ever-growing challenge of meeting the needs of students in diverse school environments. Students continually come to school lacking the academic skills necessary for school success. As a result, many of these students become disengaged in learning at an early age and are targeted as potential drop-outs before they reach middle school. Through the discussion provided in this chapter, the researcher intends to create a connection between the inclusion of drawing in the kindergarten classroom and success in the development of early reading skills, capitalizing on the idea that through the engagement students experience when drawing, they are becoming active participants in the learning process and are more likely to experience school success in later years.
