National Webinar Series | Creative Connections: Engaging Families in Home Literacy through the Arts
September 29 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Discover how to guide families in using arts integration to naturally reinforce foundational literacy skills. This session shows school leaders how to help families embed music, dance, drama, visual, and media arts directly into daily literacy routines through simple, low-cost activities like acting out stories or creating a living room museum. Attendees will learn how to communicate this approach to families using clear, accessible language that shifts the focus from “making crafts” to using the creative process as a powerful tool for deep learning.
