A Fall Favorite

Reading & stories at school,

inspired by "Room on the Broom."

Making "a connection" with a story to

something real is a great way to see if a child

understands passages or a book they've read.

"My grandmother in Sumner has Halloween

candy in a bowl in her living room.  I love

to sneak a piece or two when no one's looking!"

                                                                        ~Olivia

"I like going trick-of-treating.  My favorite

candy to get is Snickers bars or M & M's."

                                                     ~Daniel

"Fall is awesome!  Halloween is Monday

October 31st.  I can't wait.  We go trick

-or-treating and get to dress up that night!

It is a great time for kids everywhere.

                                                                      ~Brevyn

Value & Nurture the Process

Read to Them

Reading aloud is widely recognized as

 the single most important activity 

leading to language development. 

Among other things, reading aloud 

builds word-sound awareness in children,

 a potent predictor of reading success.

We hope a cat

doesn't disrupt your reading time!

Try these strategies......
reading & thinking is essential
