Students wild about reading
The SAD 6 Reading Recovery and Reading Support Program staff hosted two educational evenings focusing on literacy on May 23 and 24. Approximately 250 students, staff, and family members gathered in the Bonny Eagle Middle School cafeteria.
The goal of both events was for the students to show their parents some of what they have learned in the reading program and for the children and parents to spend time together learning with fun reading activities.
The theme of this year’s reading night was “Wild About Reading.”
Students were asked why they were wild about reading. “I like reading because I like to learn about new things and to find out what happens in a story,” one student replied.
Other comments included “find out things you don’t know, reading is awesome; and it (reading) is fun because you can learn about animals.”
The children and parents played word games that could also be played at home. The children also read to their family members, showing their fluency with a familiar book.
Gail Cressey, title 1 liaison, read the students a story. Jennifer Curtis, reading recovery teacher and literacy specialist, led the families through the various activities while the reading program staff interacted with students and parents.
At the conclusion of the evening, each reading student received a gift bag containing a new book, journal, pencil and bookmark. The families were treated to cupcakes and juice in recognition of the students’ efforts.
