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!Fall in love with a book you read together as a family or reread one of your childhood favorites to your child(ren).The resources listed on my web page include 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. You can access all Bucks County Free Public Libraries here: Bucks County Free Library
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. Embark on your reading journey at the Newtown Bookshop store or website: Newtown Bookshop
