Reading is important for the success of every child.  Please make sure that your child is reading on a daily basis.

Landis Elementary has a K-5 schoolwide reading program utilizing SRA's Reading Mastery and Corrective Reading.  This is an important part of your child's day. Reading instruction is taught using a systematic and explicit approach to ensure success.  Data is collected on a daily basis to ensure that your child masters each skill before a new lesson is taught by a trained instructor.

Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, November 15th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. for K-2 parents and students and Thursday, November 17th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. for 3-5 parents and students for Family Reading Night.  Dinner will be served to families who participate in the literacy and math workshop.  You will also have an opportunity to shop at the Book Fair and visit our new Parent Resource Center.  We are looking forward to an awesome night of family fun!!!      
 

Parents that model reading and who read to their children daily represent the value of education.

10 Ways to Raise a Reader
1.  Read to your child every day.  It is never too early to start - even newborns respond to hearing you read. 

2.  Continue reading together even after your child learns to read.  Older children still enjoy listening to others read. 

3.  Make stories come alive for your child when you read - be animated and use different voices. 

4.  Be patient - let your child read aloud at his or her own pace.  Offer help only when needed. 

5.  Discuss what you read together.  Ask question, and listen attentively to your child's answers. 

6.  Make reading time special.  Cuddle up in a quite, comfortable spot.  Your child will associate reading with feeling secure, relaxed, and loved. 

7.  Encourage your child to read at least 15 minutes or more a day, either to you or independently. 

8.  Take along your child's favorite books wherever you go.  Read on the bus, in line at the store, or in waiting rooms. 

9.  Take your child to the library often and check-out a variety of age-appropriate reading material. 

10.  Be a role model - read on your own.  By seeing how much you enjoy reading,  your child will learn that reading is great source of information and fun. 

Thank you for all you do to support the education of "our" children.
