The Literacy Connection,
Sponsored by Bookelicous, Presents Our Professional Development Program 2022 - 2023: |
|
The Literacy Connection program for 2022-2023 features John Schu. His recently published book, The Gift of Story: Exploring the Affective Side of the Reading Life is a celebration of the ways we define, revise and imagine ourselves through literacy, a celebration of the way we connect to others and build community through reading, a celebration of children, authors, illustrators, teachers, librarians, books, and readers---and, ultimately, a celebration of hearts and the stories they hold dear.

“Stories affirm our experiences. They challenge our comfort zone. They give us space to hibernate and pull us out of our isolation when we need to be reminded we aren’t alone.”

When we share our hearts through story, we inspire others to think more deeply about their own hearts and how stories connect us all. In this presentation of the heart, teacher, librarian, book lover, and story ambassador John Schu invites readers to consider literacy beyond its academic benefits, highlighting the ways story speaks to our hearts and brings us together. Presented through a study of five affective elements of story --- healer, inspiration, clarifier, compassion, and connector --- participants will explore how the universal truths found in stories can change us, inspire us, connect us to others, answer our deepest questions, and help us heal.
