BOOK STARS PREK AND KINDERGARTEN LITERACY PROGRAM
Book Stars engages children by literally and imaginatively ‘unpacking’ a story through creative, dramatic and kinesthetic play. Bring stories to life in your classroom!
Book Stars encourages PreK & Kindergarten students to use their bodies, voices, and imaginations to explore classic and soon-to-be classic children’s picture books within a thirty-minute visit. Students are introduced to a book and then immersed in its themes and situations.
Students become characters and solve problems through theatrical play as they bring literacy concepts to life, including print motivation, print awareness, letter knowledge, and phonological awareness!
