Raise a Reader
If you have not had a chance to sign up for Raise a Reader yet, please join us. Go to www.parents.com/reading/prairieviewschooldowil. We have been posting the number of students and the minutes read on the bulletin board by the front hallway. We are also collecting first names of students and their teachers to post on the board. If you have signed-up your child and their name is not on the board - please send me an email with their name and their teacher's name and I will be sure it gets put up. Let's keep our students reading!
Character Counts Talent Show
We have some very talented students in this school and it was fun to get the opportunity to hear and see some of them at the Character Counts talent show. The students did a beautiful job. It was a lesson to all of us that working hard to be good at something helps to make us into productive members of society. I heard a lot of students already talking about wanting to be in it next year.
Lexia Reading Program
I have gotten quite a few parents who have told me that they are interested in using the Lexia reading program at home. I have been working on getting names entered into the data base and getting passwords for each one. If your child is being targeted for special reading help, you will automatically get a letter sent home explaining how to download the program if you want to use it. Any parent who would like to have their child use the program and is not getting special reading help, just email me and I will enter their name in the data base and send home a letter. It is a good program for students who are good readers because it teaches word roots, affixes and their meanings at the higher levels.
