Welcome
Welcome to Project Sparkle!
When young children's interests are engaged, learning comes naturally. Researchers who study early learning have found that an asset-based, interest-based approach is a highly beneficial way to provide literacy-rich learning opportunities for preschoolers.
Project Sparkle is a series of literacy-focused learning projects developed by preschool teachers. The teachers learned to identify special interests of the children in their classes. Then they devised wonderful ways to transform their classrooms and school days with exciting resources and activities to help preschoolers freely explore the topic that had captured their imaginations. The teachers were challenged to make the most of creative and fun ways to build important language, pre-reading, and pre-writing skill development into each learning project resource and activity.
Examples of the Sparkle projects and Sparklers family-friendly ideas pages can be found on our Products page.
