We are now authors! We have learned how loose parts and some blank paper can inspire children to become authors too. #FLC2018

Wouldn’t it be fun to involve the children with the planning of the storytelling tables. What part of the story was meaningful to them? What creative materials would they use? #FLC2018 @literacyFTW @striveswo

[Julie Brandl @JulieBrandl]

Children can see themselves as writers! Picture books can be mentor texts for them. #FLC2018 @literacyFTW @dianekashin1 @cindymgreen1

Creating a literacy rich and playful environment includes people who are intentional, large blocks of time for play, and a variety of materials and inviting spaces with books everywhere #FLC2018 @DianeKashin1 @CindyMGreen1

[Julie Brandl @JulieBrandl]

Thinking about how children learn through play ... joyfully! #FLC2018 @DianeKashin1 @CindyMGreen1

Put out technology, they use technology. Put out books and sketch pads... #2000wordstogrow https://t.co/GC7kCygmjH

#Reading for fun drops off dramatically as children move into the tween and teen years, so it's crucial to find ways to encourage middle schoolers to read.

Yesterday, we celebrated participants in our R.E.A.D. program. We heard about the amazing talents of each child from their volunteer mentor. It is easy to see the deep friendships & respect that form. Families tell us that this program brings confidence and a new love of reading.
