As you know Literacy, the ability to read and write well, is the top priority at Frank West School. Here are some ideas to promote literacy at home and around town:

 

·        Dictionary Games Build Vocabulary – You need two players.  Player One opens the dictionary to any page.  Without looking she/he points to the page.  Player Two defines the word closest to where Player One pointed.  A correct definition equals one point.  The winner has the most after 20 minutes.

 

·        Find Chances to Read While Traveling – Read travel brochures together.  Plan a fantasy vacation.    Find a hidden alphabet- what things around you begin with each letter of the alphabet.

 

·        Get your Relatives to Encourage – Ask a relative or friend to loan a book to your child.  An enthusiastic follow-up call or e-mail from the relative will encourage your child to read more and stay on task.
