Reading is essential for a child's academic and emotional development.
We read fun and interesting books every day in school, and also ask students to read or be read to at home.
Students have the opportunity to respond to books in a wide variety of ways. They use different writing styles, verbal discussions, and creative arts to process and understand what they read.
We frequently practice reading aloud. The 7th and 8th graders get to write their own children's stories, then read them to the Kindergarten!
