The Read House offers lively but structured programs that help teach students the skills of New Directions within an historic setting.
Children learn by seeing, touching and doing.
Through the use of artifacts, documents and historic illustrations, children learn first-hand about the past and changes over time in daily life, domestic technology, community life and government, and ethnic and racial groups. Post-visit materials continue the learning process back in the classroom. All of the programs at the Read House help students develop the social-studies skills of chronology, analysis, interpretation and content as well as other skills in English, Civics, Economics, Geography, Mathematics, and Science.
