Maslyk, Jacie
Solution Tree
Maker education--an instructional approach that emphasizes hands-on learning--empowers students to become passionate, creative thinkers. In "Remaking Literacy," author Jacie Maslyk details how to transform literacy teaching and learning by integrating maker-centered learning projects for elementary classrooms. Rely on the book's tools and strategies to help you construct innovative opportunities for students to boost comprehension, increase vocabulary knowledge, and improve writing skills. Apply the concepts of maker-centered learning and projects to your literacy education: (1) Examine the ways maker education and project-based learning (PBL) can enhance teaching and empower student engagement and learning; (2) Learn how to reimagine instruction to ensure students build crucial literacy, collaboration, and thinking skills; (3) Study various low-tech and low-cost strategies and how to utilize them in flexible learning spaces or makerspaces in the elementary classroom or school; (4) Receive checklists and planning tools for incorporating a maker education curriculum in your classroom reading activities; and (5) Reflect on the literacy activities and makerspace ideas presented by answering reflection questions at the end of each chapter.
