a foundation to success.
Literacy is the foundation to success. National statistics show literacy proficiency declines as children enter higher grades. Illiteracy increases the likelihood of becoming a high school dropout, entering the juvenile system, and unemployment.
Children in our programs will share the experience of being an author or illustrator in a supportive environment and discover the joy of writing. They will learn what it takes to become a published author, all while they improve not only their reading and writing skills, but vocabulary, math, collabortive learning, and organizational skills. And, they will build a positive self-esteem.

Layne Case tells the story of CHARLIE, using visual aids to show how she turned her story of a dog with a three foot tail into a published book. She combines that with "Let's Make Faces!" a book that helps children understand different emotions and how they play an important part in our decision making.
