Principal's Message
Remember when reading out loud to your child was a staple of the nightly routine? Now maybe they are a little older and can read independently. This holiday break I encourage you to take the time to read aloud to your son or daughter, no matter the age. I recently read an article titled Kids' Books To Read Again, And Again, And Again, And Again, And Again, And .... Some of the books listed tackled "tough, real-world issues." I especially liked the quote, "Is there a safer place to explore the more challenging parts of life than in the lap of a loved one?"
While reading, you can help your child’s understanding with questions that build critical thinking skills and increased comprehension. For example, you might ask:
- What do you think might happen next? Why?
- Why do you think _______? (a character did something, or an event happened)
- Does this remind you of anything? (an event in your child’s life, another book, character, etc)
- Look at the picture, what does it tell you about the story?
Any discussion about what your child is reading is valuable. The most important thing, though, is your child is learning to see reading as an enjoyable lifelong activity. Thank you for helping to model that at home.
I wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday season!
Mr. Schreiber
