KLR’s new StoryWalk helps students build literacy on the go

Kenneth L. Rutherford Elementary School students are noticing something new on their way down to Specials– A StoryWalk!  A StoryWalk is an innovative and delightful way for children — and adults! — to enjoy reading and activity at the same time. Laminated pages from a children’s book are attached and installed along a path. As students stroll down the hallway , they’re  directed to the next page in the story.
 
StoryWalks have been installed in 50 states and 13 countries including, Germany, Canada, England, Bermuda, Russia, Malaysia, Pakistan, and South Korea! 
 
StoryWalk was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and was developed with the help of Rachel Senechal, formerly of the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
 
KLR’s first StoryWalk is School is More Than a Building! By Kelley Donner. Mrs. Murray hopes to install more StoryWalks for our readers throughout the year.
