CME Opening Young Minds

Do you have a student who loves movies, comics, or music but struggles with books? You are in the right place. Opening Young Minds teaches literacy and critical thinking through the media children already love — graphic novels, films, song lyrics, environmental print, and more. Every video is built on real classroom experience: 13 years of elementary teaching (grades 1–5), a background in Information Systems, and a lifelong belief that every child is already a reader — they just need the right text to find them. This channel is for educators, parents, and home learners who want practical, research-backed strategies for teaching reading through media. New videos every two weeks. Shorts weekly.
