Meets critical need: Teachers and teacher-educators are
desperate for alternative literacy instruction approaches that work
well with diverse students in mixed-ability classrooms.
Research-based: Program has been proven effective for improving writing and reading achievement, especially for at-risk learners. Positive benefits for ESL students as well.
Innovative: One of the few models to apply ‘brain-based’ and ‘multiple intelligences’ theory to literacy learning.
Motivational: Appeals to reluctant and resistant students, including boys.
Workable: Offers practical, flexible approach for combining art and literacy learning seamlessly into the classroom. No special art training required!
Accompanied by a ‘how to’ DVD explaining the process, including the art techniques.
