Write 2 Read Creative Literacy Project

Write 2 Read Literacy Project - Phase 2: Spotlight

Turn stories into performances. Turn students into leaders.

The Write 2 Read Literacy Project - Phase 2: Spotlight is a dynamic, hands-on middle school theater program and literacy curriculum designed to take student-created stories from Phase 1 and transform them into live stage productions.

Perfect for grades 6-9, educators, after-school programs, homeschool groups, and youth organizations, this 6-week program combines creative writing, drama education, public speaking, and leadership development into one powerful experience.

After completing Phase 1 (student writing and publishing program), students in Phase 2 step into real-world roles to bring those stories to life through theater.

Students will:

• Adapt stories into scripts
• Build confidence through public speaking
• Learn acting and performance skills
• Take on leadership roles (director, actor, stage manager, designer)
• Collaborate as a full production team
• Perform in a live theater showcase

This program is designed using project-based learning and arts integration, making it ideal for schools looking to increase student engagement, literacy improvement, and real-world skill development.

Students don't just learn-they:

• Create
• Lead
• Perform
• Shine

Phase 2 also includes a structured school fundraising model, allowing schools to generate revenue through:

• Ticket sales for live performances
• Community sponsorships
• Playbill advertising opportunities
• Event-based promotions

• Easy-to-follow, self-guided curriculum
• Aligns with literacy and performing arts standards
• Encourages teamwork, creativity, and confidence
• Strengthens school and community connections
• Creates a pipeline into Phase 3 (film, media, and production)
