Literacy Lava

 

What is it?

Literacy Lava is a free digital magazine (in pdf format) for you to read, download and use, share with others, or print and keep. The combined work of a brilliance of bloggers, Literacy Lava is erupting with great tips for parents, and suggestions for literacy activities to share with kids.


Why? 

Because we care. Because we want to share what we've learned as parents, educators, readers, and students of life with anyone who'd love to read ideas that encourage kids to read, write and create.


Literacy Lava - come and get it while it's HOT!
