KidzLit

The KidzLit workshop is a reading enrichment program designed specifically to increase young people’s motivation to read and build their literacy skills. At the same time, it develops core values of helpfulness, fairness, personal responsibility, and respect for others. A five-part process is used in which children hear engaging books read aloud—or read them independently—and make connections to their own lives. They express their feelings and grapple with big ideas through discussion, drama, art, movement, and writing. The workshop is aligned with the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) standards.
