How can you help your child improve their reading skills at home?
  • Make sure that they read at least 25 minutes each night.
  • Question them on what they read, this will help with comprehension.
  • Have them read a variety of things, this will help prepare them for the EOG.
Routinely Used Program:
BAR"K" (Bostian All-star Reading Klub) - students are reading books on their assigned reading levels and complete activities of their choice on those books they have read.
