The Book-in-the-Box Club
is a literacy program that travels to your Child Care Center, School or Library.
The goal of this
program is to encourage young readers by developing
pre-emergent
reading skills through
phonemic awareness
and whole language
learning techniques.
What do we do-
when we get together?
I must say,
“It seems like play-
It’s learning…
only better!”
Our class schedule
start to finish
creative story time,
drama, fingerplays

taking a second look at the
lessons we've learned
Dance and Prance…

rhythmic movement

Snap Wrap…

Can’t wait- to Create
story related craft suggestions
In our story hour together,
we bring each book to life
utilizing our whole body and all of our senses-
as we explore the
theme of the book.
With lighting,
sounds, music, dance,
puppets, drama, and
storytelling,
we will explore
these and other titles:
