A morning initiative called D.E.A.R. TIME will start your child's day. During morning line up students will have the opportunity to read something of their own choice for fun. Taking time to read will expose students to the written word and develop their reading and writing skills. Parents can help empower their children by providing them with a book, newspaper, magazine etc. to get their morning started off right!
READERS ARE LEADERS!
Reading is an important skill that increases vocabulary and academic achievement. Reading is also fun, relaxing and enjoyable as demonstrated by the students at Northern Parkway!
