Join us for an interactive workshop where we’ll dive into linguistically and culturally responsive literacy kits, crafted to engage families in supporting literacy development from infant through 12th grade. Designed for educational stages: birth to TK, K-2, 3-5, and 6th to 12th grade, these kits align with research-backed strategies that caregivers can seamlessly integrate into family routines.

Through collaborative activities, educators will gain practical insights on how to utilize these kits to bridge the gap between school and home literacy efforts. By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped with actionable strategies to help families support their children’s literacy journey.
