Video Resources For Families

We created these videos after listening to the needs of parents and caregivers, and hearing their topics of interest and concern. We know schedules can get busy, so we have made these videos accessible to you on-demand on our site. Watch them anytime!

Below you will find each video by theme. We encourage:

  • Taking notes while you watch them. What questions do you have? What resonates? Where do you feel challenged or curious?

  • Continuing the conversation:

    • Join one of our Q&A webinars to ask questions, and learn from our team and like minded community.

    • Contact us directly with questions.

  • Taking a look at our Family Resources to compliment learnings from the video resources.

Help children approach books with an attitude of wonder. Watch this video for insights into how to approach reading with the tool of critical literacy. Help children question, disagree, and wonder while reading.
