;Brief explanation: Back in the 1980s, IBM had a literacy program, "Writing to Read". The gist was that writing was a great way to spark a child's interest in reading.

What if writing code could achieve a similar result? The project is to explore how programming might be incorporated into a literacy program. Like turtle, only simple sentences instead of stacks.

;Expected results: Working prototype

;Knowledge prerequisite: Strong background in Javascript
