Join educator Maureen Leary of the National Postal Museum and formerly of the Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center to explore techniques to enhance storybook reading with museum objects and engagement activities. In this interactive session, Ms. Leary will model and discuss transferable strategies to make stories come alive for young learners. Participants will leave with ready-to-use activities, digital museum resources, and a range of adaptable strategies to transform storybook reading from a passive to an active experience. Participants will receive information about attending future live story time sessions as observers or with their young learners. Recommended for educators and caretakers.

This interactive webinar is part of “Cultivating Learning,” a professional development webinar series focusing on techniques to use digital museum resources for learning. Check out “Cultivating Learning” and other Smithsonian Learning Lab webinars: https://learninglab.si.edu/help
