From Books to Bots: Integrating Literacy Standards with Robotics and Technology

In this interactive session for elementary teachers, we’ll explore how Amplify CKLA literacy standards can be brought to life with robotics and digital tools like Canva. You’ll see practical examples of how coding robots to retell stories, using Canva for character based projects, and building digital story maps can deepen student comprehension and engagement.We’ll highlight multiple sample units that merge CKLA content with technology; for instance, programming Bee-Bots or Ozobots to reenact narrative events or designing interactive storyboards connected to CKLA texts. These strategies show how literacy skills such as sequencing, comprehension, and storytelling can be strengthened through purposeful tech integration.You’ll leave with classroom ready resources, practical ideas, and the confidence to transform literacy instruction into dynamic, tech powered learning experiences.
