What do reading, writing, and coding have in common? More than many educators realize. Drawing on doctoral research examining the connection between early literacy and coding, as well as innovative ideas and tools explored at PETE&C 2026, this session will highlight the shared skills that support success in both literacy and computer science, including sequencing, communication, vocabulary development, and problem-solving. Participants will leave with practical strategies, technology tools, and classroom-ready activities for integrating literacy and coding across the early elementary grades. Please bring a laptop or Chromebook.
