Reading with your child makes a difference!
Reading with your child makes a difference!
Vocabulary Growth: Explaining unfamiliar words in real-time helps children learn language much faster than they would by just reading alone.
Confidence Boost: Positive reinforcement during reading moments creates a safe environment where children are not afraid to make mistakes.
Critical Thinking: Asking open-ended questions turns a passive activity into an active conversation, helping them connect the story to the real world.
Stronger Connections: It gives you a shared language, creates lasting memories, and keeps you actively involved in their education.
DID YOU KNOW...
Our school does not receive any books or library support from SVVSD? As a charter, our book funds, supplies and the Destiny Library Catalog system come out of our school budget.
The new books purchased for our shelves currently come solely from money raised through our book fairs.
Libraries purchase "library bound" books due to the high check out rates of the books. At home, you may read a book a few times. In a library setting, that same book may be checked out hundreds of times. Library bound books use special binding materials to ensure a longer shelf life. The purchase cost is higher but the life of the book lasts much longer than a typical bookstore book.
The average cost to set up an academic school library is around $50,000 for a K-8 school.
As a charter, we research, purchase, catalog and process all of our books in house. This process is usually completed by a team in the Media Services department at SVVSD.
We now have over 7500 titles, from mulitple publishing houses, waiting to be checked out.
