Literacy
The Literacy gallery will expose visitors to the joy of words and creative expression. This area will create a playful and fun landscape of words and literary encounters throughout the exhibits and programs. In addition, there will be a literacy "thread" throughout all of the museums exhibits and programs at the museum and within its outreach programs.
The Mississippi Children's Museum is partnering with organizations across the state and elsewhere who wish to improve the state of literacy in Mississippi, and we will apply best practices in literacy teaching and learning throughout the museum's exhibits and programs.
Our goal is to make the practice of reading and thinking a compelling tool for exploration and discovery in all of the museum's work, and this will help children become readers, writers and tellers of their own stories.
