ONE SCHOOL ONE BOOK
A MESSAGE FROM MR. CLARK REGARDING ONE SCHOOL ONE BOOK
Dear Webster Families,
Our school is about to take part in a special, school wide shared reading event. Every family will receive a copy of the same book and will be asked to read it together at home over the next few weeks. I am personally asking you to make the time so that your family can participate in this special activity.
Reading aloud at home is valuable because it better prepares your child to be an effective reader, and it is also a fun, worthwhile family activity. With this program, we aim to build a Community of Readers at our school. Everyone – students, parents, teachers, – will all be following along together.
Your family will receive a copy of our book at a special school wide assembly introducing the program and the book. Along with the book, you will receive a reading schedule so that you can keep up at home. We are asking families to read three or four chapters each week. In school, your child will be invited to answer weekly trivia questions to encourage and reward attentive listening.
This is a novel program in that children of all grade levels will all be listening to the same book. Strange or daring as that may seem, it actually makes sound educational sense. Reading professionals recommend reading material out loud that is beyond a child’s own reading level. We also believe that you can and should continue reading chapter books with your older children, even when they are able to read by themselves. We have selected a title that can be followed and understood and enjoyed by younger students, but will still captivate and stimulate older children.
I know that you’ll enjoy this special reading time with your children. I hope to talk with both you and your student sometime in the days to come about this special book. When a whole school reads a book, there’s a lot to talk about. With your help, we can build a Community of Readers at our school!
Happy Reading!
Mr. Clark
