Bring The Fine Arts of Literacy presentation to your preschool or elementary school! Inspire your teachers! Bring the benefits of the Fine Arts to your classrooms! Enhance your students' literacy skills!

Donna’s most requested topic, The Fine Arts of Literacy, combines the Theory of Multiple Intelligences and early literacy research with the Fine Arts to create a truly inspirational presentation.

 The Fine Arts of Literacy Presentation will give educators new ways to

• enhance students’ reading/listening experiences.
• increase students’ literacy understanding and retention through unique Fine Arts activities.
• use multiple stimuli to engage students’ five senses.
• increase students’ attention spans and ability to concentrate.
• enrich classroom instruction by integrating Fine Arts across the curriculum.
• meet the demand for a differentiated curriculum by engaging students in a variety of ways. 

The Fine Arts of Literacy enhances any curriculum by making the Fine Arts part of not only the early literacy process, but of the early learning process. The Fine Arts of Literacy presentation can help educators enhance not only their reading programs but their science and social studies curriculum, indeed the daily life of their classrooms.

In Donna’s engaging, hands-on workshop, educators will learn to bring books to life using classical and contemporary music to accompany outstanding children’s literature. They will learn how to pair readings with creative, imaginative activities. Children can rewrite, reenact, paint or dance to recreate the story in an artful way. Their imaginations will soar, while they make valuable connections in memory, retention, critical thinking, social-emotional skills and sensory stimuli.

Grounded in research with knowledge of today’s necessary learning outcomes, The Fine Arts of Literacy inspires teachers and administrators to find ways to bring inspiration into their classrooms while still meeting and often exceeding today’s demanding curriculum requirements. The Fine Arts are disappearing from more schools every day. The Fine Arts of Literacy can bring the profound benefits of the Fine Arts to current curriculums while achieving greater results in language arts, and indeed the foundations of all subjects!
