Please call Enchanted Forest at 544-0976 to sign up for the Science Club. The professional development curriculum focus this year for the staff at Swift River School will be reading. During Wednesday afternoons the staff will be working to identify the best practices in reading education, to align our work in this area with the state frameworks and to imple-ment the ideas and techniques suggested by our research. Being a successful reader is quite an accomplishment. It involves many small steps that children take before they enter school and during their elementary school years.
Parents can help by talking, listening, singing, and reading to their children daily.
These tips are meant for parents to have fun with their children, while helping them gain skills they need to become good readers. Sometimes they will address issues for beginning readers, and some tips will focus on transitional and independent readers. We encourage you to share with us any favorite family reading activities that your family has. Our commitment together will encourage our children to reach their full potential. We'd like to thank all who turned in their volunteer sheet.
