The benefits of students being read aloud to are remarkable. Studies have shown that being read aloud to increases children's listening comprehension, increases their vocabulary, provides them with fluency models, lengthens their attention spans, creates a positive attitude towards books and reading, and much more! Our goal with this program is to create a buzz and excitement around the book that will augment these read aloud benefits. We also hope that by reading one book as a whole school, we will continue to foster a strong sense of community between students, parents, teachers, staff, and beyond.
Our staff works together to choose a book that will engage and excite all of our students K-5. Then, we will send one copy of the book home with each family along with a reading calendar and fun ideas to extend the reading at home. Each night, families choosing to participate will read the predetermined pages on the calendar together. All school staff will do the same. During school, there will be trivia questions, prizes, fun events, classroom discussions, and tons of other fun, exciting things happening.
Below, you will find all the resources you should need to join us on this fun adventure. However, if you have any questions or ideas, please don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected].
