Families and Educators are invited to this free webinar presented by Gwyn McCormack, Positive Eye Ltd.

Literacy begins in the everyday experience of the child.  Let’s use “story buckets” of objects and manipulatives to help deafblind children, and children with multiple disabilities, interact with and communicate about stories from Marvin’s Story Time Show. 

This webinar is packed with a plethora of easy, story bucket ideas created using objects and items from your kitchen cupboard, around the house, or from your local store.  Build story buckets for five adventures from Marvin’s Story Time Show:  

Marvin’s American Adventure;

Marvin’s Seaside Adventure;

Marvin’s Farm Adventure;

Marvin’s Woodland Adventure;

Marvin’s Market Adventure.

As many ideas as possible squeezed into this practical and engaging webinar from the guru of creativity, Gwyn at Positive Eye!

Webinar resources include access to the text and materials for all five stories, as well as the “Supporting a multi-sensory approach to literacy” booklet.
