Our school is struggling with student achievement in reading at every grade level. Each year our reading scores are dropping at an alarming rate. In order to counteract this trend, we would like to promote literacy and reading with our early learners in order to make sure they have a solid foundation for learning to read when they enter kindergarten. By closing the vocabulary gap and promoting early reading skills, our prekindergarten students will have the language skills they need to be successful readers. By encouraging parents to read to their children at home and providing the books and materials they need each day, we can bolster the language and cognitive learning skills of our youngest students. This project will allow us to send home a new selection of books each night for parents to read to their children. The books can be returned the next day and swapped out for a new bag of books. The goal is for each prekindergarten student to have read 1000 books before they enter kindergarten next year. This project will allow the librarian to prepare a wide variety of book bags that can be shared among the students in order to reach the goal. Parents and students that reach the 1000 book goal by the end of the school year will be entered in a drawing for a Kindle Fire tablet as a prize for their commitment to the program.
