"Writing Without Pencils"

 

Writing Without Pencils is a provocative educational concept—that children can write before they can read.  

 

In 2009, kindergarten teachers asked Paul for writing lessons tailored to five-year-olds. From that request came Writing Without Pencils, an ongoing, teacher-focused project that includes collaborations, school residencies, publications, and teacher workshops, including two presentations at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. 

 

In 2010 I felt that I should present a definition of the new Writing Without Pencils initiative—a case statement.  With funding from a donor and with the video skills of Stuart Hirotsu (Issei Productions), we created this brief video.  The students are the stars, of course.
