BES Together We Read - LITERACY RESOURCES
Parents, we are encouraging our students to read more with our #togetherweREAD movement. We would like to invite all of our families to join us in this! Simply set aside some time to read at night, take a pic, and tag us with our hashtags...

The publishers of Storyline Online say that reading aloud to children has been shown to improve reading, writing and communication skills, logical thinking and concentration, and general academic aptitude, as well as inspire a lifelong love of reading. Storyline Online is available 24 hours a day for children, parents, caregivers, and educators worldwide. This digital resource is one way we can help our scholars open up worlds of knowledge beyond their immediate experiences and expose them to richer language. Reading aloud can continue, even in a virtual setting.
