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.
