Literacy Link from Literacy Coach Mrs. Snow
October 2008
Literacy Link is something new that will be coming home monthly with your child. It is meant to be informational for families as they continue their journey through school together. As many things are – this is a work in progress and may change throughout the year.
With our October Break fast approaching I thought that some travel games and activities might be useful and fun for you to do with your family.

Welcome back to another wonderful school year!
Literacy Link is something new that will be coming home monthly with your child. It is meant to be informational for families as they continue their journey through school together. As many things are – this is a work in progress and may change throughout the year.
This month I’d like to share some tidbits about reading aloud to children. Research shows that students that are read to regularly enjoy more success in school.
