Literacy Education by Design: Early Learners
About Literacy Education by Design
Literacy education embodies more than the reading of texts.
Literacy education creates opportunities for learners to grow in their understanding of themselves, their surrounding
communities, and the world.
Literacy education also sets the stage for learners to envision ways they can interact with others and within their environment.
ASLA invites young readers to learn about landscape architecture through colorful, adventure books and music about the design of outdoor spaces and natural spaces.
