Here is the Link for D&C icons, how they are used, and how you can use them at home as well!

We use the icons in all subjects and areas throughout the day. This is also a school wide initiative, so they will continue with it throughout their time as a Nance Eagle Scholar. 

• Read every night, for at least 20 minutes.  

• Ask your child questions before, during and after reading:

  • How have the characters changed?

  • What will happen next? 

• Have your students read to you in the real world:  environmental print (menus, street signs, billboards, etc.)
