The Stallion Stampede
Janie Stark Elementary Parent Newsletter
January 8, 2023
Dear Stallion Families,
We had a great week last week here at Janie Stark! It felt so nice to be back with your sweet children and back into the routine of learning and laughing together.
Now is the time to re-establish those good routines of daily reading. Ask your child where his/her favorite reading spot is. Bring a favorite stuffed animal, pillow, or blanket to that area. Choose a time each day and stick to that time to have your child read independently, with you, or to you. Snuggle up and just read for pleasure! Children who are read to at least three times a week by a family member are almost twice as likely to score in the top 25% in reading compared to children who are read to less than three times a week. Now is the time to re-establish those reading habits, or build new ones!
Time flies. Before you know it, your child will be preparing for middle school and beyond. Take the time now to develop a love of reading that they can carry with them through their lives. And enjoy every snuggle along the way.
To the BEST of days,
Mrs. Putman
