Thank you to all of the current Title 1 families that were able to attend our Reading Horizons night at Ferderbar Elementary. The session was designed to give easy-to-learn strategies for decoding and spelling words when practicing at home. It was a great night. Thanks for taking the time to come out!!

Parents and Guardians,

Please be on the lookout for information regarding our mid-year Parent/Teacher Conferences that will be held in late January. The holidays provide a great opportunity to spend time together reading as a family. Here are some suggestions for how to nurture a growing reader:

1. Read daily with your child.

2. Notice what interests your child and help them find books about those things.

3. Check on your child’s progress by listening to them read aloud, read what they write, and ask teachers how they are doing in school.

4. Continue reading aloud to older children even after they have learned to read independently.

5. Praise your child’s effort and newly learned skills.

Elise Winterberger from the Philadelphia Zoo gave a presentation on what it’s like to work at the Zoo and the work she does to care for the animals at the zoo.

Parents and family members were treated to a concert in the evening.

Parents came in to help with the fun.
