Kids love movies, but getting them to fall in love with reading can often be a challenge.

Script to Screen utilizes their enthusiasm for the Screen to creatively link it to reading. We begin by watching a hit movie, previously Black Panther, and then reviewing the script together.

We take the time to connect the dots between the movie and the literacy skills necessary to make it happen.

Next, they learn how to write their own stories, craft them into a script, and then ultimately make a short film. We finish with a red carpet movie premiere, a community-wide celebration of the kids’ hard work and creativity.

With neighbors, popcorn, and a professional photographer, it’s a party you don’t want to miss…made possible by kids’ engagement with reading and writing.
