Follow Through With Kids

Reading aloud to a child isn't just one
of the best activities to stimulate language
and cognitive skills.  The very act also
builds motivation, curiosity & memory.

Promote Sound Awareness

Learning to read involves the ability to speak, understand sounds & make connections.

It's "phonemic awareness" we're aiming for!

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.
