There are many magical benefits to be gained by reading with your child. Reading is one of the earliest shared 
experiences that a parent can have with their child. Sitting together or snuggling fosters a sense of warmth and security. Reading aloud will expand a child’s vocabulary, teach proper book handling skills, and an understanding of a sequence of events. Setting time aside each day will not only show your child that you want to spend time with him, but will set the stage for a love of learning. I encourage you to let your child pick out a book, cuddle up and read together!
To encourage reading, we are having a book day on the 9th. Have your child bring in a book and we will read it with them! This month we will also have a magician visit our school! Sam the magic man has been coming the last couple of years and the students and teachers walk away from the show amazed!
