Signature Workshop

The READ Framework: Turning Stories Into Meaningful Learning Experiences

Educators do more than listen in this interactive workshop. They use the READ Framework to transform familiar children’s books into experiences that build social-emotional skills, creativity, confidence, and connection.

The READ Framework

R — Read the story

E — Engage in conversation

A — Activity to reinforce the lesson

D — Debrief to deepen understanding

Participants work in groups to create and present their own READ experience, leaving with a flexible framework they can use immediately with books they already know and love.
