Literacy Live! for Grades K-3
Literacy is more than the ability to read the printed word. It is also the ability to put those words into context, to understand the sequence of events, and to predict what may be coming next.

Literacy Live© is SteppingStone Theatre's brand new program that uses the tools and techniques of theatre to bring words to life, and language into action! This program is designed to improve students' reading comprehension and writing skills by getting them on their feet and actively engaging in their own literacy.

Activities & Outcomes
Students will:

• Learn sequence, inference, prediction, rhyming, and phonetic awareness through theatre activities, storytelling, and role-playing
• Learn how language structure affects meaning
