Review for Making Books Sing Inc, New York, NY, USA
Making Books Sing has worked with my third through fifth grade students for the past 8 years. Students love adapting books of their choice to plays. They look forward to working with the teaching artist who are highly skilled, and who demonstrate an amazing ability at adapting to the needs of children of all learning styles. The program has a strong literacy component which enhances our students academic progress. We have also Partnered with Making Books Sing in our Parents as Arts partner's program to deliver high quality parent workshops.
