Remaking Literacy Book Study

Do you love books? Are you a librarian or an ELA teacher looking for new ideas for hands-on learning? Do you run your school's STEM Lab or Makerspace? Maybe you just need a new professional book to jumpstart your creativity for the next school year.  Remaking Literacy is definitely the book for you!


Consider this your formal invitation to participate in the Remaking Literacy Book Study! 
During our 4-week book study ,we will talk about ways to transform literacy teaching and learning by integrating maker-centered learning projects for K-5 classrooms. The book’s tools and strategies will help you construct innovative opportunities for students to boost comprehension, increase vocabulary knowledge, and improve writing skills.

We will apply the concepts of maker-centered learning and projects to your literacy classroom in creative, hands-on ways. We will:

  • Examine the ways maker education and project-based learning (PBL) can enhance teaching and empower student engagement and learning.
  • Learn how to reimagine instruction to ensure students build crucial literacy, collaboration, and thinking skills.
  • Study various low-tech and low-cost strategies and how to utilize them in flexible learning spaces or makerspaces in the elementary classroom or school. We'll also explore some easy digital tools to incorporate into any learning space.

During each virtual meeting, we will tackle two chapters together, while engaging in some hands-on learning of our own. You will also get access to new Remake Resources! Check out the schedule below.



If you can't make a meeting, we'll send you the recording, along with any resources that you missed. 

If this sounds like great summer PD to you, then order your book and register today!
