"Read to Them educates families and schools on the benefits and importance of reading aloud at home. A growing body of research describes the complex and permanent effects of reading aloud. Children who are read to learn to read more easily and become better readers. Literacy skills provide the basis for a lifetime of learning and productivity." - Read to Them®

Boyce Elementary has chosen to participate in One Book One School. This year we will be reading CEO Cleo Edison Oliver, Playground Millionaire by Sundee T. Frazier. Your child will be getting their very own copy of the book to keep for their very own. We will be reading the books at school and very much encourage you to read with your children at home!
