Welcome to Literacy!A child's success as a reader begins much earlier than the first day of school.
The love of reading begins at home!Please note: All student activities are posted to your child's Reading Club Google Classroom for when the district determines asynchronous instructional days due to inclement weather.Enjoy reading books from this school year's Book Bowl list (link below).This book list is recommended for students entering second, third, and fourth grades.
Fall in love with a book you read together as a family or reread one of your childhood favorites to your child.I hope you will take the time to use the resources listed on my web page as fun and interactive ways to incorporate reading at home.Fun Family Literacy Suggestions:
Visit the local library
If your child doesn’t have his/her own card yet, sign up at one of the public libraries. Look through the different sections together, and see where your child is most likely to find his/her favorite books.
Visit your local bookstoreCheck the schedule. Often times, there are author visits, story times, story telling, and other fun activities taking place there. Start reading a series together. It’s a fun way to explore new characters and enjoy adventures together.Access Journeys Electronic ResourcesYour child has access to listen to or read stories from their Journeys student book edition. You could listen to and read these stories together, as well as discuss characters, setting (time and place), problems, events, solutions, and themes. Please click on the Journeys Reading Program tab, and "Student Login Information" to find out more.
