Welcome families!
Please look below for what is happening at Life Academy this quarter in Literacy and for ways to support your scholar at home.
Reading with your child is a proven way to promote early literacy.
Studies have shown over and over, in many different ways, that students who are reading on grade-level by third grade have higher rates of success academically and in their future lives. Helping to make sure your child is reading on grade level by third grade is one of the most important things you can do to prepare him/her for the future.
By reading with your child for 30 minutes per day and incorporating a few simple strategies as part of your daily routine, you can make a positive impact on your child’s success in school.
