Read & Create

The goal of this program is to combine the joy of reading and the creation of an artistic statement. The focus of this program is to remove the barriers school-aged children face to learning, and to support their strengths. Reading a story or poem will be the inspiration for the creation of an artistic statement, encouraging self-expression and raising the level of self-esteem for struggling readers.  Students will have fun, be actively engaged and have the opportunity to practice comprehension skills and language/vocabulary development in a group setting. “Art is proven to develop a greater self-discipline and self confidence in students, which are essential skills not just for the classroom, but also for real-life application.” (Clare Richmond)
