5 Reasons to Join…
1. Curated and Diversified Library
LWL began building its storytelling program in 2018. We have spent years curating a collection of over 600 picture books from award-winning authors and illustrators, ranging from childhood classics to best-selling new releases. We take the guesswork out of what to read by selecting stories that students love while sharing messages that are important to parents, all divided into tailored reading levels.
2. Theme-Based Learning
Each LWL storytelling class focuses on a theme. From Dinosaurs & Dragons to Food & Nutrition to Plants & Mother Nature, we rotate through 28 themes throughout the year to help students expand their imagination and increase their knowledge of the world around them.
3. Storybook Makers (In-Person Only)
Each semester, in-person students spend six weeks as “Storybook Makers.” Guided by our teachers, students move step-by-step from planning to illustrating their very own book. This hands-on process brings stories to life while reinforcing essential reading comprehension, sequencing, and early writing skills.
4. Class Discussions and Homework Review
Each time we read a picture book, we discuss the story throughout, find ways to connect to each story, and reflect on what we learned in the end. Each class we provide a recording of a story and comprehension worksheet for homework review.
5. Assessments and Progress Tracking
We track growth through mid-term and final assessments, with teachers providing verbal updates during pickup. Our consultants are available 7 days a week to ensure classes align with your learning goals.
