Story Time

In addition to reading for 15 minutes a day, and doing Lexia for 15 minutes, try having a story read aloud to you! See the links below for options for both younger and older readers.

MyOn is a great option for online reading material, available to all NBPS elementary students.

Storytelling is a fun way to develop relationships, language and literacy skills. Parents, tell your children stories! Tell them about your childhood, family history, culture, favorite books, movies and adventures. Children, tell your own stories! Use words, drawings, puppets, blocks or other toys to act them out and show the setting, characters, problems and solutions! You might tell realistic stories about your life, or you might tell stories about superheros or fictional characters you create!

It might be fun to use a voice memo feature on a smartphone to record your stories, or a video application. Some personal devices also may be compatible with some of the Apps listed here. Whether you record them or not, keep telling stories!
