We were thrilled to host the Connection to Creativity program at our school for the past two years, where they provided an engaging and interactive literacy experience for our kindergarten students. The program brought stories to life through hands-on activities, movement, and imagination, capturing the attention and enthusiasm of every child. It was a joyful and enriching experience, and we would gladly welcome them back!

My daughter did Connection to Creativity’s Novel & Novella Adventure Kit in the midst of summer vacation. At a time when she’d been away from structured academic activities, the Novel & Novella Adventure Kit was a welcome resource for her to revisit letter writing, word formation, reading comprehension, direction-following, sustained attention and more in creative and new ways prior to her return to school. Her favorite activity was “Reading On The Go” which involved decoding messages. She said she felt like a detective! She also loved the stickers and pencil included. I loved the Novel & Novella Adventure Kit because it was a just-right challenge for my daughter in that she practiced familiar skills while incorporating brand new learning, such as compound word formation. I also love that Connection to Creativity gives back with each purchase and gifts an Adventure Kit to children who are housed in domestic violence transition shelters. I highly recommend the Novel & Novella Adventure Kit to any parent who is trying to avoid the summer slide!

“My kids enjoyed it very much and enjoyed the activities. They were a little bummed out when I told them that yesterday was their last day. The children had a good time and we discussed the story and what they learned. Thanks, CONNECTION2CREATIVITY!”

“It was amazing to see all the smiling faces as D.J Steinberg read "Here Comes Thanksgiving". The book came to life as everyone was dressed in Turkey hats and the Mime acted out all the scenes as the author read to our little ones. They played music and danced. The best part was they had a chance to stuff a bear, which was a character in the story, name it and take it home. The Adoption ceremony made the whole experience official. I can't wait until the Cuddle and Read program comes back to our school. Anyone who believes in creating healthy reading habits and wants to bring the fun back to reading should reach out to Connection to Creativity to schedule a visit to their program. Thank You Stephany Davis for your vision and professionalism. Thank you, D.J Steinberg, for your wonderful stories.”
