Learning Workshop Series: Literacy and Informational Text Exploration for Kids

an exciting four-part workshop series designed to engage families with children ages 3-8 in active, hands-on learning experiences.

Our workshops utilize creative play and exploration to introduce both kids and grown-ups to digital and tangible tools that enhance knowledge, practices, and perspectives.

The focus is on literacy and informational text—text specifically designed to convey information.

Learning Goals:

1. Collaborative, hands-on activities
2. Engagement with, and creation of, a variety of informational texts
3. Digital game play for enhanced learning experiences

Family & Community Learning Model: Our model encourages multi-generational hands-on family engagement to support science and literacy development among children and families.

These resources are designed for use in community-based settings, providing modular and flexible experiences adaptable to various communities and contexts. Each resource includes full activity plans, supporting materials for facilitators, links to related video and digital media, and take-home materials for ongoing family engagement.
