Inspiring Family Literacy in Action

February 7, 2026 - D.A. Jennings was invited to share practical insights and creative strategies for designing a Family Reading Event at the State of Maryland Literacy Association (SoMLA) Assembly Meeting.

​

The focus of the session centered on building genuine connection — encouraging interaction among teachers, students, and families while making literacy engaging and fun. Attendees explored ideas for strengthening school-to-home partnerships and creating experiences that extend beyond a single evening.

​

The meeting was hosted by Park Books in Severna Park, Maryland, providing a warm and welcoming setting for collaboration and conversation. The event was co-organized by Sandra Keaton of SoMLA and Melody Wukitch of Park Books, whose thoughtful planning made the gathering a success.

​

A strong reminder that when passionate educators come together, great things happen for readers of all ages.

Coming this year, Kip dreams of the ocean—but what he discovers there is even bigger.
When a day at the beach turns into an unexpected adventure, Kip and a band of Land Pirates rescue a sea turtle and tackle a beach full of trash using creativity and teamwork. Kip and the Land Pirates is a fun, hopeful story about environmental care, problem-solving, and how small actions can create big change.
