Plato Learning

Plato Learning is on a mission to change literacy education. In our work we aim to turn stories over to the imaginations of young people who infuse them with energy, power and ingenuity, reminding us all how and why we fall in love with reading. We aim to tell culturally responsible stories that reflect the diversity of the world around us. Through our summer camps we demonstrate how a shared love of story can be expressed between and among children and the adults in their lives. Our mantra, Adventure Powered by Story, is a promise to use all the tools at our disposal to make stories resonate with as many kids as possible, especially those who often lack the opportunity to bring their full selves to the literacy experience. We give students agency over stories; those others tell, but also the stories kids believe about themselves. So, whether our students approach reading through the visual intelligence of an artist or a builder, a naturalist or the kinesthetic intelligence of a sword fighter, Plato Learning is a space where no matter the “text” our kids are the masters of the story.
