Why Altered Books & Teens?

An altered book program has little to no cost. It stimulates creativity, imagination and art skills. Students learn alternative recycling methods and self-expression while engaging in a literacy building activity.

Think about how all of these, and more, assets stem from
tearing pages from an old book.

The program requires about an hour of set up time, some instructional guidance and then minimal supervision. Once students are given a few prompting ideas and assured that "it's okay to tear the pages" they delve into the activity.
Have the teens help clean up and you are finished without any mess!
