Launched in 1998 by the National Education Association (NEA) and guided by a committee of educators, NEA’s Read Across America is the nation’s largest celebration of reading. This year-round program focuses on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and reading resources that are about everyone, for everyone.
At Derry Village we believe that the following is important;
providing students lots of time to read,
providing students access to lots of books to practice accuracy, fluency and comprehension,
providing students with increasingly complex text,
explicitly teaching students reading strategies,
reading aloud to students brings reading alive, and shares the experience
This week is a celebration of reading.
