Our school is about to take part in a special, communitywide shared reading event. Every family has received a copy of the same book – Almost Super by Marion Jensen – and will be asked to read it together at home over the next few weeks. I am personally asking you to make the time so that your family can participate in this special activity.

Each day I will be updating this website with discussion questions, trivia, and activity ideas while we are all reading along at home. During this time I would love for us to stay in touch. Please send pictures of your family reading or doing some of the activities and I will post them here.

Reading aloud at home is valuable because it better prepares your child to be an effective reader, and it is also a fun, worthwhile family activity. With this program, we aim to build a Community of Readers at our school. Everyone – students, parents, teachers, even administrative staff – will all be following along together.

I know that you’ll enjoy this special reading time! I hope to talk with both you and your student sometime in the days to come about Rafter and Benny Bailey and their family of superheroes. “When a whole school reads a book, there's a lot to talk about.” With your help, we can build a Community of Readers at our school.
