Camden, NJ (PRWEB) April 19, 2018
Catapult Learning, a leading provider of instructional intervention and professional development solutions, today announced the availability of its 2018 Student Learning Bag & Lending Library Catalog, offering a cost-effective way to supply students with engaging books and activities that encourage learning. With a range of more than 20 themes, Learning Bags promote literacy development and inquiry-based education. They include high-interest, low-readability, and bilingual options, and can be used as a supplement to summer programming or for at-home learning.
Engage students in learning at home over the summer
Curated for five grade bands – K-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-8, 9-12 – options include Reading Bags, which motivate children to read for pleasure while building their literacy and comprehension skills, and Activity Bags, designed to engage children through exploratory learning. Activity Bag materials help students learn how to gather information about the world, explore ideas, ask questions, engage in an inquiry-based process to find answers, problem solve in new and exciting ways, and connect classroom learning to real-world experiences. Family Tip Sheets tailored to each bag theme offer guidance on how to optimize children’s learning experiences.
“At-home learning is a crucial complement to what is taught in the classroom,” said Michal Kisilevitz, Catapult Learning’s Senior Vice President of Education & Corporate Operations. “Our team works hard to thoughtfully develop cost-effective Learning Bags, addressing an essential child-development need. With summer fast approaching, our aim is to keep students engaged and excited to continue expanding their minds and skill sets over break.”
