Dewey

Happy holidays from all of us here at Dewey! ✨ The holiday season is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen family bonds, share your favorite childhood stories, and create cherished, lasting memories. Storytelling is not just a meaningful tradition; it’s a fun and natural way to foster connection while nurturing your children’s literacy skills. We’d love to hear your favorite family holiday stories in the comments below! Enjoy this special time of year. ❄️💜

The internet is even more powerful than we think! 🧠Young people are turning to online spaces for information and inspiration more than ever, responding to a cultural message that social media is the place to be. Our constant adoption of new technologies and platforms reaffirms this message every day. We know from our own online experiences that a large amount of content can be unchecked and uninformed. That means it’s our responsibility to be mindful of the content we all consume. Engaging with paper books, art, and informed news sources shows our children the power of learning from diverse resources and sets a positive example. Digital literacy is just as important as literacy itself — let’s fortify our children’s intellectual curiosity and build their informational toolkits! 🔧✨ #Literacy #EarlyChildhoodEducation #ScreenTime

Get to know our My Story Box with a special child in your life!

We know at Dewey that the best holiday memories don’t come from gifts. These memories come from shared experiences, joys, and love. That’s why storytelling is so powerful — it connects us all, making every moment special and fostering our understanding of one another. We built Dewey’s My Story Box out of our shared belief in the power of story. Having the right tools for reading and writing reveals magical worlds for more than just children; it opens doors for parents, caregivers, and anyone who loves kids. Open this box with a special child and enter a world of literacy that feels extraordinary and possible. Together, we can make storytelling the greatest gift of all. 💜 More from Dewey CEO Pam Allyn on the magic of storytelling here:

Dewey Founder Pam Allyn has dreamed for years about launching educational products that directly impact families at home. 🌠 As screen time and early introduction to technology became a concern for families across the nation, Pam saw a need for engaging and fun literacy products on the market that were interactive, hands-on, and screen-free. We want to introduce products that spark curiosity and allow children to be independent learners. We want children to feel the pages of our story when they flip through our books, hold a pencil to a piece of paper when they practice letter writing, and physically hold our products to conceptualize them to discover the world of PALS Town. 📚 ✏️ Read more here about our team’s journey to creating our first-ever D2C product 💜

Parenting tip 💡 Is your child struggling to stay engaged in school? If your child feels like learning is a chore, try igniting their interest using a personal passion. Be it art, photography, comics, STEAM, skating, dance, basketball, or history— every child has something that sparks excitement. When we tap into those interests, we can uncover our children’s inherent curiosity and motivation. Foster a sense of wonder by selecting books from the local library that feature characters students identify with and hobbies they enjoy. Invite children to create something in their own style—whether it's writing the first draft of a paper as an anime script or composing a poem in the style of their favorite famous lyricist. When we feed enthusiasm and engagement in one area of a child’s life, it reminds them that their interests, voices, and stories matter and it empowers them to apply that energy to other areas of their academics. ✨📚 Literacy is so much more than reading and writing. Encouraging children to explore their personal interests fosters their confidence and nurtures their sense of identity, empowering them to thrive and reach their full potential! 💜 #DeweyCommunity #EarlyChildhoodEducation #ParentingTips
