IN DEVELOPMENT!
A NEW ARTS
EDUCATION PROJECT
Promoting Literacy and a Love for Reading.
We all gravitate to different styles of learning! With that in mind, EBS ORIGINALS is creating a “digital library” of picture book musicals called Leenie’s Library. Each animated song is presented in the form of a (3-4 minute) picture book that includes orchestrated music, masterful vocals, clever graphic illustrations and silly animation, with the lyrics as the “script.” Each song is upbeat, fun, and funny, and allows for word repetition, reinforcing reading and spelling skills, while introducing new vocabulary....all in a very natural, entertaining manner. Award-winning artists from the worlds of Broadway and world-famous Concert Halls come together to inspire the next generation of great readers!
Available on YouTube, the Series is FREE!
A unique reading activity for the young and young at heart.
