"Reading, at its core, is an act of expansion, allowing a child to move beyond immediate surroundings and inhabit ideas, to form identity through language, and to translate imagination into something structured and lasting."
"CMOM approaches this work with a deeply intentional sense of empathy, designing programs that are immersive and interactive, where language, movement, and expression intersect so that a child does not simply absorb information, though engages with it, tests it, and builds understanding through experience."
The Children's Museum of Manhattan emphasizes the importance of early literacy, noting that over half of New York City students in grades three through eight struggle with reading proficiency. This lack of foundational literacy limits opportunities for children. The museum creates immersive and interactive programs that encourage participation, allowing children to engage with language and ideas actively. By fostering curiosity and individual expression, these programs help children build understanding and identity through experience, transforming reading into an expansive act that opens up possibilities.
