Activities at school coordinate, promote, and enrich the shared reading experience.

Why? To create a culture of literacy in every home. Research shows that reading aloud to children will help them become better readers.

Who? The entire school community and many community businesses are also going to be participating in One School, One Book

When? Be on the lookout! Your child will bring their book home in May after a special reveal assembly.
