Literacy

The PTA is committed to helping families support their child's development of literacy skills and encourage a love of reading through access to books, particularly those that reflect the diversity of our world.

Studies show...

Just like going for a jog exercises your cardiovascular system, reading regularly improves memory function by giving your brain a good workout.
Reading books about different people, places, and experiences is critical to healthy child development and should be a priority, particularly in early literacy.
A parent's understanding of each element at play in their child's school reading life will support their personal growth, and their advocacy can serve the greater student community.
