Help Students Become Confident Readers and Writers
Cultivate Resilience, Engagement, and Achievement
LitLeague recognizes that students thrive when they have confidence in their self-worth and their ability to learn.
Literacy Skills
Students strengthen their reading and writing muscles by mastering basic skills of fluency, comprehension, analysis, reflection, planning, and crafting.
Social-Emotional Development
Students become dynamic writers as they embrace the power of their unique voice and learn the value of listening to and engaging with their peers.
Engagement
Students engage in interactive and imaginative ways to demonstrate their interpretation of texts and build reading stamina, motivation, and independence.
A Strengths-Based Program
Lessons are framed around seven key strengths that build social-emotional learning skills and prepare children for challenges that they will encounter in their educational lives, careers, and communities.
