It is so important that your child is exposed to a multitude of books during this time. We read at LEAST one story a day in our classrooms. We know that we have an abundance of books that some of you may not have access to, so we have inserted a few story reading resources for you to use if you do not have many books at home. Some of these are free, and some of them to require a subscription. If you click on the buttons, they will lead you to these resources. Youtube is also a great resource to find different stories read aloud!

Please ready DAILY with your students, it is so important!

Please have your child log into Smarty Ants daily for about 20 minutes at least twice a week, if you are able.
