Lisa Guernsey of New America and Michael H. Levine of the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop commissioned a series of video vignettes to accompany their book Tap, Click, Read: Growing Readers in a World of Screens, (Jossey Bass 2015).
We directed a team of videographers, traveling to sites around the country where parents, teachers, and community leaders are harnessing digital media to support children’s language development and literacy. We took our video crew into the homes of first-time parents in Houston, to the television studios of Univision, to the living rooms of families using e-books in Chicago, to the first-grade classrooms of an elementary school in Washington, D.C.
We also wrote a series of blog posts on New America’s EdCentral.org to tease the book’s content.
