Supports for Families & Caregivers
Advancing Literacy Beyond the Classroom: Workshops for Families & Caregivers
Welcome to the launch of our new workshop series Advancing Literacy Beyond the Classroom: Workshops for Families & Caregivers. We designed this series to provide support for kids' literacy development outside of school, beyond the classroom.
This platform will help you understand the powerful role literacy plays in children's lives and will provide essential guidance for supporting kids outside the school day – from new books & texts for kids, to the latest research in education. Our aim is to support the entire community in helping kids become powerful, lifelong readers and writers.
We will have a few episodes each month, live on Zoom, for families, caregivers, and educators. The topics for each episode will support students in grades PreK through 12, covering a variety of subjects, including:
Early literacy
Spelling, punctuation, and grammar
Essay writing
AI Tools & education
Finding real purposes for writing
Recommended children's literature
These sessions will be recorded. A collection of episodes will be released as a podcast starting in January 2026. There will be two time offerings for the live Zoom sessions:
4:00 - 4:30 PM ET (Live recorded sessions. These will be released, as recordings, starting in January 2026.)
7:00 - 7:30 PM ET (Live recorded sessions.)
We welcome you to our learning community!
