The Power Of Reading At Edna Louise Spear Elementary School
Students enjoyed a book and a blanket with volunteer readers during the annual PARP event at Edna Louise Spear Elementary School.
PORT JEFFERSON, NY - From Port Jefferson School District: Independent reading, shared reading and interactive writing are part of the literacy approach at Port Jefferson School District’s Edna Louise Spear Elementary School and students were excited to participate in several activities surrounding these topics during the annual PARP event and Scholastic Book Fair in November.
Family members of students in Maureen Zajac’s second-grade class lined the hallways with books and blankets and met with students in small groups to share favorite books. The class enjoyed hearing the wide range of stories, including the entertaining poems of Shel Silverstein and the fairy tale story, “The Gingerbread Man,” among others.
Fourth-grade students in Dana St. Pierre and Michele Smith’s class were immersed in a reading and writing assignment, encouraging them to look for clues and cues by answering questions, searching for story titles and writing about themes of chapter and picture books. First-graders visited the library to share stories and identify books they are looking to read while readying for the PTA-sponsored book fair.
