CTL’s Artful Reading (AR) on the Go supports literacy in the home by providing families with carefully crafted, arts-integrated literacy experiences that promote academic and social emotional learning. The at-home learning experiences help children build developmentally-appropriate literacy skills and a library of culturally responsive educational resources. For the caregiver, the activity cards provide the supports for meaningful and engaging conversations around a picture-book theme. As a result, families are empowered and students are successful.
