About the Project

Let’s Read and Play, TK and K! will provide a motivating experience for TK and kindergarten students to play and learn at the same time. This project will be a collaborative effort between parents, teachers, students, and the community to promote literacy and social-emotional skills through play-based activities. During the first portion of this program, classrooms will be revamped in order to implement play areas, such as a kitchen, café, blocks, and puppets/drama. The other half of the project will include Family Literacy Nights that will be offered to TK and K families in the fall and spring, in order to educate families of the importance of at-home reading and playing.
