LITERACY FOR LIFE
Our mission is to inspire and encourage young readers and writers by providing them with experiences that stimulate and encourage their natural creativity while promoting the development of strong literacy skills.
Our aim is to prepare kids for any writing and reading challenge they will encounter or give to themselves, to turn them into long term, self-assured readers and writers. We aim to support a generation of readers and writers and to provide a positive and productive atmosphere that will allow the individual to grow.
The goal of our creative writing program is to educate students to use their creativity effectively through a variety of different assignments, exercises and workshops. The program will benefit their individual skill and ability as readers and writers and focus both on allowing students to express themselves and to strengthen many key skills that are fundamental for academic success.
We believe:
-
All children have the ability to become competent readers and writers.
-
Authentic daily reading and writing activities are necessary to support intellectual growth in our children.
-
Children learn best when they are supported by family and friends.
-
Placing responsibilities and appropriate opportunities and expectations on our children builds self confidence and self-esteem.
-
Reading, writing, speaking, and listening, are all parts of literacy and encouraging children to use language to learn, think, and communicate effectively is opening the gateway to future success.
-
Children need to enjoy reading and writing and develop life-long literacy habits.
