Merry
Lit‑mas with Dr. Jenn
This is my thank-you to this community: six free Saturday lives for families, all through the holiday season, from November 14 to December 19. Word games, a family book club, a holiday writing party, and more. Sit down together with your kids, grab a blanket, and join me from wherever you are in the world.
Six Saturdays of Lit-mas
Your host
I'm Dr. Jenn Overstreet, a literacy educator. I've spent 16 years teaching kids from more than 30 countries, in the US, Italy, and the Middle East, and international schools around the world have brought me in to strengthen how they teach reading and writing.
Today I live in Rome and teach families all over the world on Zoom. Merry Lit-mas is six Saturdays of doing the fun parts of reading and writing together, with your kids right there.
How it works
- One sign-up saves your seat for all six live webinars. Come to one, or come to all of them.
- Each live is about an hour on Zoom. The link arrives in your inbox before every live.
- These are family sessions. You'll do every activity together, and you'll leave knowing exactly how to keep it going all December.
- I'm the only one on camera. Parents and kids never appear on screen. Your kid can answer in the chat, or you can type for them.
- Can't make it live? Sign up anyway. Everyone who signs up gets the replays.
- All six sessions are my gift to your family this holiday season.

Good questions
What ages is this for?
Kids about 4 to 12 will get the most out of the kid lives. The December 12 reading reset is for parents.
What time is it where I live?
Every time on this page is already shown in your own time zone. The lives are at 3pm in Rome.
Can my kid join on their own?
Please join with them. Every session is designed for a parent and kid to do together, and half the magic is you seeing how it works so you can keep using it at home.
Will my family be on camera?
No. I'm the only one on camera. Parents and kids never appear on screen, so come in pajamas if you like. Your kid can answer in the chat, or you can type for them.
Do I need to come to all six?
Not at all. Come to the ones that fit your weekend. The replays come to your inbox either way.
