Dear Families,
In and effort to strengthen the partnership between school and home, we have prepared a Read-at-Home Plan to support early literacy. This plan will provide you with activities and a list of online resources you can use with your child.
Additionally, each of the recommended activities includes choices that support multisensory strategies. Multisensory strategies stimulate learning and engage children. These strategies use the five senses to help with learning: listening, speaking, touching, smelling, and tasting. When we use more than one sense at a time, we increase the engagement of children. Multisensory strategies provide more ways for children to understand new information.
We are dedicated to walking alongside our families as we strive together to develop lifelong learners and lovers of reading.
