Let's Look Inside Lit Launch

Lit Launch Review #1

I have taken many online learning courses, and this one was by far one of my favourite. Right from the start the site is easy to navigate and organized, which made it easy to find what I needed. The course material itself, was interesting, informative and has gotten me excited about all the fun things that I am going to put into action in my class. You will have ideas that you can implement right away after the first few minutes of the course. The timing of the course was broken up into chunks, so that it was easy to fit into a busy educator schedule and still feel on top of it. Kristy, the course teacher, was supportive and quick to answer any questions that I had while I was completing the course. If you are a middle school educator who is looking to add a little spice to your reading program then this course is for you. You will not be disappointed. - Christine K

Lit Launch Review #2

The Lit Launch course is great for new and experienced teachers alike! Though I've been teaching for ten years, I learned a lot of new and interesting strategies and tips to apply with my sixth-grade learners. The engagement strategies Kristy suggests are age-appropriate, easy to implement and fun. The accountability ideas are spot on! Kristy provides lots of examples and creative, new ideas that I can't wait to try out. As a busy teacher and mom, I was worried I wouldn't have time for a course, but I'm so glad I made time for this! The videos and modules are densely packed so they are manageable and efficient! I'm certain that I have saved time and energy by taking this course and I'm looking forward to a smooth start to my literacy program in September! I highly recommend Lit Launch! - Tina M
