DIBELs results

I am so proud of our DIBELs results. The Reading Horizons program is really making a difference with our students!! The proof that the program is working is in the scores. We will be redoing the schedule and going back to review with new students that we have added to the program. If your child has just now started coming to the program and you have any questions please contact me here at the school. I will be glad to meet with you to discuss your child's progress and what you can do to work with your child at home.

Tips To Helping Your Child Become A Better Reader

* Read aloud traffic signs as you travel by car with your child.

* Stash books for your child to read in the car when traveling.

* Get a library card and find out about all of the exciting things happening at the Millbrook Public Library.

* Give books to your child as gifts and encourage them to buy books as gifts for others

* Play Board games together. You can even add their sight words as extra cards to read before they play their turn.

* Don't worry if your child wants to read the same story again and again.

* Write notes to your child.

* Set up a special place and time to read aloud to your child every night.
