The Library Resource Center gives each student the opportunity to develop library skills. The students browse and check out books for pleasure reading and for research projects. Here is our wonderful Library-Media Clerk Mrs. Bloom, eager to help A major goal of the library program is to get students excited about reading. Several on-campus programs promote the importance of reading. As reading goals are met, schoolwide celebrations are planned.
Research shows that the more students read, the more vocabulary and concepts they acquire.
Increased reading also assists students in gaining writing skills, for in literature, they see the structures dispayed that can serve as models to good writing. We strive to have all students reading on a weekly basis, and we need parents to support and encourage their students in this goal. Students will be asked to list the books they have read each week, and a schoolwide accounting will be kept. This is our reading incentive program for grades 1-6. Students read books at various levels of difficulty.
