One Book, One School

What is One Book, One School?

   It is a program designed to create a shared reading experience within a school community, while encouraging the habit of family reading. A chapter book is chosen, every family receives a copy, and they read that book at home over approximately six weeks. Activities at school promote and enrich the shared reading experience.

    No rewards or assessments will be involved in the reading of the book. We hope that your family will simply enjoy reading together. Children of all ages can benefit from hearing a story read aloud. Research shows that reading aloud sharpens the imagination, creates healthy dialogue, and helps children love reading. Additionally, families reading together strengthen their emotional bonds and helps provide positive parent-child connections essential to a child’s psychological health and academic growth.*
