Title 1 Parent Involvement – Family Literacy Night

Bring your school families together for an evening of stories and an important message. Learning to read and write must be encouraged at home. Parents are offered tips for helping the classroom teacher build literacy skills. An engaging, entertaining educational parent involvement program!

Build a Better Story!

A classroom "funshop" that introduces narrative structure and nurtures strong writing skills. A delightful combination of entertainment, education and fun.  Hear a story, explore the arc and components of narrative; then students choose the characters, settings, challenges and outcome so classroom storytellers can create an original story, on the spot.

 

 

PROGRAMS FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL

Classics Alive

Stories by classic authors come alive in spoken word, inspiring a new perspective and interest towards Twain, O’Henry, Poe, Chaucer and others.

11th Grade English Students:

• “The story was a lot different being heard rather than read.  It was easier to understand and I could paint a picture in my head.”

• “I think that this storytelling was truly fascinating.  Her use of tone made me feel like I was in the story!  It also helped me create a vivid mental image.”
