Our very first class 32 years ago.
In our feature class, children ready for a full workshop will experience everything Storybook Workshop’s renowned curriculum offers. We begin with a charming story and enhance it with our creative curriculum, playfully fostering early literacy. Combining music, movement, and drama with a classic piece of literature actively engages children and provides substantial developmental benefits. Our activities promote cooperation and confidence while also cultivating language proficiency. Build language and vocabulary, strengthen gross motor skills, and learn about our world in this fun, age-appropriate class. This class lays an excellent foundation for your soon-to-be reader!

Getting ready for Kindergarten!
Our hour-and-a-half class is specifically designed for pre-kindergarteners. By utilizing the best children’s literature, we inspire creative learning through music, movement, drama, and art while supporting the development of various social, cognitive, language, and physical skills.
Students learn foundational skills such as print awareness, vocabulary, fluency, rhyming, and comprehension. We draw, cut, and use Play-Doh along with various art tools and materials to enhance fine motor skills. We express ourselves through drama and creative movement games, fostering essential gross motor skills and coordination—all while having serious fun!

One of our most popular offerings!
Does your child have a flair for the dramatic?
Using classic and contemporary children's literature, Readers’ Theater explores how to create a simple production. Our dramatic activities and games enhance literacy skills while broadening vocabulary, concentration, and self-confidence. In this workshop, we will craft props and scenery to bring a beloved story to life. Our term concludes with a musical performance before a live audience of Storybook Workshop students and their families: it's engaging, fun, and a cherished offering for years. This is a must for children who adore creative drama and seek a non-competitive outlet after a long day at school!
Reading is NOT a prerequisite for this class.

Fundamentals of Literacy and Language
In a special workshop class, elementary students explore the disciplines of Storybook Workshop—music, art, drama, and movement—while building foundational literacy skills. Using a balanced literacy approach to learning, we examine books and their authors/illustrators and play games to enhance vocabulary and critical thinking skills. Children practice reading sight words, sing songs, enjoy simple phonetic lessons, and play tongue twisters. This class is active and incredibly fun after a day in school! Seasoned educator Steph Murray, M.Ed., created Literacy Workshop.
