Keep Reading

CRCT tests are coming up after spring break. Keep reading fiction and non-fiction texts for comprehension. Check out your teachers links to practice testing too.
Also a big thanks to all our volunteers you are greatly appreciated for all that you do.

Creative Book Projects

As the holidays are quickly approaching, parents are often curious about how to entertain their children for two weeks of vacation. It's important to keep reading with your child over the holiday break to support all the gains they have made with comprehension this year. One way to make reading fun is to engage your child with a creative book project. Attached is a link to give you ideas of exciting projects.
