2019 Reading Rockstars Literacy Conference

This presentation will focus on the development and utilization of book bags in preschool through elementary classrooms. During this session, participants will gain a deeper understanding over how to develop interactive book bags and implement book bags with digital and game components to support student literacy. Background information over poverty and parent engagement will be shared to highlight the need for increased literacy resources and interactions within and outside the classroom setting.   Dr. Jill Tussey, Buena Vista University, and Amy Clark, Green Hills AEA, have over 20 combined years of educational instruction and personal experience developing and implementing book bags within preschool and elementary classrooms.
