From Reynolds’ The Dot (an artsy book) to making origami books (a bookish art), this workshop teaches participants easy, low-cost book-centered activities that will help kids develop a greater fondness for books about books. We’ll even make our own recycled paper into art.

Activities designed for Camp Read-a-Ramaâ, 40-hour, one-week-long, themed literacy immersion camps that help teach kids to “live books” can also strengthen your summer programs. These workshops will help educators, librarians, youth professionals and parents/guardians design new ideas for innovative and interactive programs that pair books with hands-on, interdisciplinary activities to promote early literacy and fully engaged learning. Designed for adults, each programs is approximately 2 hours long and all are fun and fully interactive. (Children who are old enough and focused enough to participate are welcome.)
