Reading Changes Lives
It sets your child’s imagination free, taking them to faraway lands and teaching them to see the world through the eyes of others.
For all children, reading can be fun. And what begins with fun can open the door to empathy, creativity, critical thinking, and so much more.
Our Workshops: The First Steps
Workshop #1: Turning the Page
Getting your child to read isn’t always easy.
Books don’t offer the same kind of instant, interactive satisfaction as YouTube or video games. We’ll show you how to overcome that struggle and make reading a fun, family-friendly activity.
Change your child’s attitude towards reading and make it a stress-free experience.
Get our personally curated list of suggested books for all ages and reading levels.
Give your child role models through books starring children with learning disabilities.
Workshop #2: Diving Deeper
It’s one thing to read the words, it’s another to understand their meaning.
In our second workshop, we’ll explore advanced techniques for teaching your child how to engage with the stories they read – then begin to create their own.
Expand your child’s awareness of printed language and ability to read reflectively.
Show your child how to use what they read to become more creative themselves.
Bring a pen and paper for you and your child to do some writing of your own!
