Welcome to our year-long Family & Caregiver Workshops! We created this series to help support the literacy development of your children outside of school. These workshops will provide you essential tips, suggestions, and ideas of ways to work with your child outside of school to become powerful and life-long readers and writers. There will be offerings 1–2 times a month and will range in focus from grades PreK–8. We’ll discuss a variety of topics including spelling, punctuation, and grammar; essay writing; AI; ChatGPT; early literacy and reading; STEM; storytelling and oral language; social justice; and more.
