Reading every day!
At Willow Springs, we take reading seriously... from Kindergarten we aim to help students realize the power of reading and the enjoyment books can bring. Research tells us that reading is the most important skill that needs to be mastered in elementary school, and that students who read fluently are more likely to be successful in other subjects in middle and high school.
How can you help? For young children, read with them every night... follow the words with your fingers. For older children, expect them to read daily (20-30 minutes) and then chat with them about their book. You can even read what they're reading, and then have great conversations....Not only is it great bonding time, but it reinforces this incredibly important skill.
Whether it's baseball, swimming, soccer, gymnastics, dance or reading.... we'll only get better if we practice a lot!!! You can make a difference!
