The Principal's Message
 Want your children to be good readers?
Let them see you read. In 1988, more students than ever reported that their homes contained few or no reading materials. More than one-third of the nation’s nine year olds (33.8 percent) said they had little or no access to reading materials in their homes. Students were also asked how often the people they lived with actually read newspapers, magazines and books. Students who said they saw people reading more than once a week scored better on reading tests. In 1988, 16 percent of the 13-year-olds and 14 percent of17-year-olds said they saw someone reading never or once a year. Source: National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
How can you help your middle school child? Provide varied opportunities for the family, parent, son and daughter to read for pleasure. Have you given your child a book for a gift? Try it! Visit the local library. Don’t just drop off your child. Come in and discover the joy of reading. We don’t always have to tell them what’s right; we can show them, pick up a book, magazine or newspaper and learn together.
