Hallowell Elementary Hosting Fall Reading Event

Hallowell Elementary School’s annual Fall for Reading event is planned for Monday, Nov. 3 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Community members and students are invited to explore the school’s garden, enjoy treats from the garden’s harvest, visit classrooms and enjoy books.

“This is an important event. It helps parents to understand the strategies that are being used in the classroom to promote reading. Many of these techniques can be used at home. We have found that interactive reading approaches encourage students to read more and to retain more of what they read,” said Tami Eldridge, a reading specialist at Hallowell.

Eldridge said visitors may be surprised to see the variety of settings where reading takes place, including on the treadmill, while seated on an exercise ball and other unusual sites.

Hallowell Elementary School is located at 200 Maple Ave., Horsham.
