North Texas Wolf Trap trains early childhood educators in the use of performing arts techniques and strategies that can help young children learn basic literacy, social, and academic skills and concepts.  The program promotes reading readiness and literacy through multi-week residencies which use drama, music and movement to teach basic skills.  During the work sessions, artists and teachers partner to create, refine and assess the effectiveness of art-based lessons.

North Texas Wolf Trap is designed to:

• Fill the need for sustainable, arts-based literacy programming in North Texas early-childhood classrooms;
• Train early childhood educators and artists in the use of performing arts techniques and strategies that can help young children learn basic literacy, social, and academic skills and concepts;
• Teach parents new ways to enhance children's pre-literacy skills at home; and
• Provide important pre-literacy skills to the youngest learners.
