Friday in Cleveland: Make & Take Mustard Seed Books

Ready to have some fun with literacy learning? Three hours will fly by on Friday, April 21st at The Literacy Cooperative workshop on making your own Mustard Seed Book. Space is limited to 30 participants, so register today.

Mustard Seed Books are leveled readers that can assist your learners–at any age–to become fluent with 1st grade reading. We’ll look at the original series by Dr. Rick Chan Frey to explore the breadth of skills covered at this level. 

Then I’ll show you how to create your own fun little books that will truly engage your readers. Warning: This is where it gets addictive!

As a demo, I’ll walk you through the process I took to create my own multi-media reader: Monty the Cat.


Every participant will get a printed book to take home, and we’ll have a drawing for a few to get the whole series.
Last week, I facilitated a short version of the Make & Take: Mustard Seed Books workshop at COABE. Participants found that 75 minutes was way too short! They came up with excellent topics about doctor’s appointments, gardening, cats, family vacations and more. 

I’m very excited to offer a full 3-hour version of this engaging workshop. I hope you in the Cleveland area will join me! For learners of all ages, this fun and simple process can help transform beginning readers into lifelong learners.

This FREE training is offered through The Literacy Cooperative of Greater Cleveland on Friday, April 21st at 9:00 to noon. Register here
