"MARNI'S WORK WITH YOUTH ON THIS TOPIC THROUGH THEIR PERSONAL STORIES IS NOTHING SHORT OF INSPIRATIONAL." Christine Sheehan, Director of Education, Proctors
You'll learn hands-on ways to help children step into literature, experience memories as dialogue-filled scenes and learn to coach each other skillfully on oral and written performance. Oral language and listening pave the road into literacy. Marni shows the way.
