Presidential Park Story Time

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go!"

-Dr. Seuss

We know that life gets busy and it's difficult to fit in time to read with our children. We also know that the amount of time scholars spend reading is the best predictor of reading achievement (Anderson, Wilson, and Fielding- 1988) The staff and friends of Presidential Park have put this site together for our scholars to enjoy read-alouds so that they can grow as readers, and discover the magic of books!
