Reggio Emilia documentation is a cornerstone of the Reggio philosophy. It’s not just record-keeping—it’s a way of making children’s learning visible, meaningful, and valued.
Mark-making refers to the earliest forms of visual expression—scribbles, lines, dots, and patterns—that children create to explore ideas, communicate meaning, and experiment with representation. Within the Reggio Emilia approach, these marks are not seen as mere preparation for writing but as a powerful language of childhood, embodying thought, emotion, and identity.
The "100 Languages of Children" is a concept from the Reggio Emilia Approach, an educational philosophy that emphasizes children's diverse ways of expressing themselves and learning. This approach encourages children to explore their creativity, curiosity, and individuality through various mediums, fostering a deeper understanding of the world around them.
