Stories That Soar!

Empowering Young Writers: The Literacy Connects Program “Stories that Soar!” builds literacy by bringing kids' stories to life through the arts.

Stories that Soar! programs empowers K-12 students by giving voice to their original words and creative ideas through a variety of literacy and arts programs. Literacy Connects’ Stories that Soar! taps into the wellspring of children’s imaginations. This program transforms and shares students’ words and ideas through the arts to inspire creativity, promote active literacy, and build engaged communities. This is done through students submitting their own stories to their school’s “Magic Box” from which a team of professional actors and musicians select a number of them to turn into performances held at the school’s assembly.
