Unleashing the natural-born
storyteller in each child.

Develop positive reading motivation

Small group, hands-on learning

Led by Teachers, Reading Specialists & Authors

What the experts are saying…

“Becoming an avid reader requires both skill and motivation. Skill development is supported by knowledgeable teachers and lots of opportunities to practice; motivation is about getting to know your budding readers and leading them to that first story that enthralls them and keeps them coming back for more.”

Stephanie Kozak, PhD Education

Creative and innovative activities that support the development of reading skills and comprehension strategies, also lay the groundwork to foster and build a love for reading.

De Naeghel et al., 2016

“Even just feeling positively about reading can make a difference in vocabulary skills.”

Martin-Chang et al, 2021

“Reading books that are chosen by the readers meets their psychological needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness and promotes reading motivation.”

Ryan & Deci, 2000
