Can we tell 
which kids in this photo 
were reading at an early age?

How would they compare to
peers who didn't have such opportunities?

Speaking of "Gifts"

No regrets, bestow this "gift" to children.

 

Stop Everything!

When this cutie says "Jillybean come

 read to me," you stop what your doing.

You snuggle up with a book 

and elephant stuffed animals.

Why? 

Children become
readers on the laps of others!
                                         ~Jill

 

Set an Example

Readers are leaders.

Each Book

"Each book we share with youngsters
is another chance to enrich their lives,
cultivate interests, and move them
beyond "today," toward the future."

Beloved Teacher, New Books

Many, thanks to the
Lawrenceville High School class of 2000.  

Alumni made it possible to add new

books to our library, in memory
of educator Mrs. Robin LeGrand. 

 Here are just some of the titles
Mrs. Newlin has placed in

We appreciate this kindness!

Discover Storyline Online!

Have you discovered Storyline Online?  The chance to share tales and improve vocabulary for youngsters?  What could be better? 

There's a wide selection of stories to choose from:  http://www.storylineonline.net/

Monarch Butterfly of Aster Way

"Beginning her long journey from a yard on
Aster Way, Monarch Butterfly flies across
the U.S. and south to Mexico where she
plans to spent the winter."

Our pupils shared this tale in Creative Literacy classes during September and then designed what we call "Smart Art" by creating insects.  The Smithsonian Institution reviewed the book for accuracy and it's a great addition to our collection.   We hope boys and girls now know and understand more
about the life cycle of the monarch butterfly.   

You can find this book
in Parkside's Title 1 Room.

Forever Free

"Wear the old coat and buy the new book."

                                                        ~Austin Phelps

Share That Book!

Get Comfortable - Offer youth soft mats or pillows to sit on. 

Give them blankets to snuggle up in on cold days, or sit near a 

cool breeze when the weather is warm. Let them have a snack

or drink before you start. 

Remove Distractions - Make your reading spot as quiet as 

possible so your youngster can focus on the story. Turn off 

the TV and computer......enjoy this time together.  

Encourage Participation - Kids just may enjoy reading 

more when they’re invited to join in. Let them take turns 

choosing a book and turning the pages. If there’s repetition 

in a story, challenge them to recite the key phrases with you. 

Keep it Appropriate - If your kids have trouble following the

language or plot of a story, it may be too difficult for them. 

Look for books that are closer to their reading levels. 

Tip: Ask a librarian or your child’s teachers for suggestions.

Hmmmm, "Let It Go!"
