Little Readers in the Prairies
My published article in Working Draft Magazine is about organizations in Manitoba helping students in Manitoba with literacy skills.
Since literacy in Manitoba has been declining in Manitoba, it would have been easy to take a negative approach. Instead, I took the positive route and found organizations using creative approaches to fixing the problem. My background in education was helpful in rounding out the story, as I was able to provide commentary, tell stories, and give insight to the education system in Manitoba.
The result? A story about therapy dogs, Pokémon cards, and the people improving literacy in Manitoba.
