Engaging young writers with games!
“Play your way to the page”
Jump into your character’s shoes. Walk around in their world. Watch your writing spring to life. In these free workshops, facilitators will guide families through interactive Inklings games. While students write the beginning of a short story under the guidance of one facilitator, the other facilitator will share a Writerly Play toolkit of practical strategies to encourage creativity and literacy at home with parents.
