Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ Literacy Education by Design

Literacy education embodies more than the reading of texts. 

Literacy education creates opportunities for learners to grow in their understanding of themselves, their surrounding communities, and the world. 

Literacy education also sets the stage for learners to envision ways they can interact with others and within their environment. 

Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ invites young readers to learn about landscape architecture through colorful, adventure books and music about the design of outdoor spaces and natural spaces. 

Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ's book list for early learners is a great place to start.
