Melissa Wade (McKee Elementary)

When we preview a new module box, my Kindergarten class gets so excited and curious! They love the hands on approach of the lessons. It sparks so much creativity and wonder! Wonder on a child’s face is food for the teacher soul!
Ashley Lile

Artful Reading has brought life back into the classroom with beautiful colors and artistic ideas. The students in my classes have enjoyed taking their reading comprehension outside the box, and turning it into something creative. They love the books and the characters they encounter with each module, and the ideas are something they can all relate to. It’s also provided me with a new way of approaching my teaching; the strategies and organizers are a breath of fresh air and excitement.
