Literacy is an important life skill that youth need to succeed in school and in life beyond the classroom. Out-of-school time programs are ideal for youth to apply literacy skills learned during the school day. In this session, participants will learn how to design a literacy-rich afterschool environment of materials, activities, and resources that help youth gain confidence as they build competence in in speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
