SUPER WHY Reading Camp is a breakthrough, weeklong program that invites kids to transform into Super Readers & practice key literacy skills. They were created for 4-6 year-olds with an emphasis on low-income families and extend the learning from the television series through episode viewing, extended learning activities, interactive literacy games, literacy-themed crafts, body movement exercises, branded music and take home worksheets.

More information on this project coming soon.

Martha Speaks Reading Buddies program is an 8-week long program that pairs kindergarten students (Little Buddies) with older students (Big Buddies) of both Bond Elementary School in Tallahassee and St. Johns Elementary School in Quincy. Beginning in January 2009, Buddies visit with each other once a week to learn special new vocabulary words, play word games, watch a bit of Martha Speaks, read a book together, and then finally write about their experience. Research indicates that when children "buddy" up for learning wonderful things take place for both older and younger students!

A specially designed Raising Readers “Reading Den” features selected episodes of PBS Progamming that includes Between the Lions. Super Why, Marth Speaks and others over a set period of time, games, activities, and library collection materials (including books featured on the programs!). Family literacy activities, and staff training are offered.
