Read-Aloud

Read a great book and add it to the patchwork quilt of memories and treasures to remember by reading aloud during the month of October!

The Colorado Council of the International Reading Association has once again designated October as Read Aloud Month in the state. The goal of the project is to encourage parents, and adults in a child's life, to participate in their children's literacy development by reading aloud. Studies prove that the most important activity adults can do in preparing children for success in school and becoming successful readers is to read aloud with them from the early years. Setting aside time to read with your child helps him/her learn and develop an interest in reading. It builds a love of books, a sense of story, an appreciation for language, and expands vocabulary. By joining us in this endeavor, you and your school can take an active role in encouraging family involvement in children's growth as readers.
