8:30 am - In Person Workshop (Community Room, Room #113)

Presented by Ms. Raymundo

If you are a parent of an English Language Learner (ELL), we would like to invite you to this informative workshop!

Playing an active role in your child’s literacy development at home will enhance your child’s interest in reading. Reading at home and school establishes consistency and creates a routine that students can continue to fluently practice with listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

 In this informative session, you will explore digital resources, which offer eBooks and audiobooks in many languages, to engage and support literacy development at home in English and your native language.  Improving literacy will help your child improve on comprehension, vocabulary and language skills as an English Language Learner. Tips and resources will also be shared. 

This workshop will be hosted by Ms. Raymundo, our third-grade teacher. 

Please complete the attached RSVP form. See you then!
