Family Literacy Resources: (click on the colored links below)
Did you know that kindergarten is a critical time in your child’s literacy development? Research shows that more books in the home make better readers! So visit the public library in your neighborhood often, and set aside time EVERY day to read with your child! Read together at least 20 minutes a day--and watch as your child becomes a READER! :)
I would like to work together with your family to foster your child’s love of literacy. On this page I have provided links to some helpful websites to get you started. Please email, call, or stop by our classroom after school if you'd like to meet to discuss how you can best support your child's literacy development--in both READING and WRITING at home!
