CTL’s Artful Reading (AR) on the Go supports literacy in the home by providing families with carefully crafted, arts-integrated literacy experiences that promote academic and social emotional learning. The at-home learning experiences help children build developmentally-appropriate literacy skills and a library of educational resources. For the caregiver, the guidebook provides the supports for meaningful and engaging conversations around a picture-book theme. As a result, families are empowered and students are successful.
Artful Reading on the Go empowers families in supporting their child’s academic and social emotional learning needs through:
-
multiple, carefully-crafted literacy activities
-
purposeful interactions that support vocabulary acquisition, fluency, and reading comprehension
-
building confidence in families to support student learning at home
-
fostering two-way engagement between school and home
