Everybody Wins! Iowa and the Des Moines Community Playhouse partnered for a joint literacy enrichment project at Capitol View Elementary.
The primary goal of the project was to provide a personalized, interactive reading experience that made use of both reading aloud and performance to reinforce basic language arts skills.
The volunteers in Everybody Wins! Iowa read the book "The Red Balloon" over a period of 2-3 weeks, asked students thought-provoking questions related to the book, and helped the students visualize the storyline by drawing illustrations in the child's book. When the book was completed, volunteers from The Des Moines Community Playhouse came to Capitol View Elementary to perform a radio script based on the story. The students and volunteers had a great time bringing the story to life. Oh, and the students got to keep their personally illustrated book!
