Language & Literacy Practices in the Out-of-School Time
Dear Colleagues,

This form is a way to collect and share interesting and innovative practices in language and literacy in the out-of-school time.  The information you provide will be used to design a series of webinars by the National Afterschool Association and offered for free on the new RBF funded Out-of-School Time Hub which is linked to the newspaper Youth Today.  

We are looking for ways that you have engaged children and youth in reading, writing, English language acquisition and academic and language development, particularly in fun, non-school-like ways that are culturally appropriate as well as appropriate for the afterschool and summer contexts.  

If your ideas and/or lessons are used on the Hub, you and your agency's work will be fully acknowledged.  In addition, you may be asked to participate in a Google hangout as an afterschool expert.  This google hangout will be recorded and uploaded onto a Youtube channel for viewing by the larger community.  

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Please describe a literacy (reading and/or writing) activity that you've done at your program that really engaged children and/or youth.  Please be as detailed as possible.  You can even write in the lesson plan with the times allocated for each section of the activity.
English language practice
Please describe an English language activity that you've done at your program that really engaged children and/or youth who are learning English.   Please be as detailed as possible.  You can even write in the lesson plan with the times.
Academic and language development practice
Please describe a language development activity that you've done at your program that really engaged children and/or youth. Academic and language development activities can be for younger students (1-2nd grades) that help them acquire specific language skills such as new vocabulary.  Academic language activities are those for children and youth that help them to perform better in academic contexts, for example to write an essay or compare/contrast in a science experiment.   Please be as detailed as possible.  You can even write in the lesson plan with the times allocated for each section of the activity.
How has the lesson(s) supported the Core Standards (if applicable)?
What are some books, materials, and resources that you've used that have been well received by children/youth?
What has been your biggest challenge, and how have you overcome it?
Thank you so much!  Please add any other comments or questions that you have in the box below.
