We’re thrilled to invite families to our upcoming Family Literacy Night on November 21, 2024! This event is a fantastic opportunity to bring the joy of reading into the heart of your home and build lasting connections between school, students, and families. St. Thomas More’s Family Literacy Night is designed to help children become better readers and foster a genuine love for learning that will benefit them throughout their lives.
Why Family Literacy Night Matters
Family Literacy Night is about much more than reading; it’s about building a community of readers who support one another. We know that when families read together and share literacy experiences, children are more likely to succeed academically. Through this event, we aim to empower families by providing strategies and resources that make reading together fun and accessible.
When parents and children engage in reading activities at home, they create an environment that values learning and sets a positive example. Research shows that children who read outside of school are more likely to excel in language arts, comprehension, and critical thinking skills. This event helps families build those foundational skills with the support of teachers and our community, making learning an adventure everyone can enjoy.
What to Expect on Family Literacy Night
This year, we’ve packed Family Literacy Night with exciting activities to inspire children and adults alike. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the fun:
- Story Time: Listen to engaging read-aloud and discover new books together!
- Games and Crafts: Hands-on activities encourage creativity and make learning about language fun! Play literacy-themed games and create crafts that bring stories to life.
- Brown County Book Mobile: The beloved Book Mobile will join us with books available for checkout.
- Prizes and Giveaways: Everyone loves prizes, and we’ve got plenty!
- Literacy Resources for Parents: Learn practical strategies to support your child’s reading at home. Our staff will share tools and ideas to make reading an engaging, regular part of your family’s routine.
Building a Stronger School-Home Partnership
Family Literacy Night is an opportunity to strengthen home and school connections. When parents and caregivers are involved in their child’s learning journey, children feel more supported and motivated to reach their potential. By attending, you reinforce the message that learning is important and that reading is a powerful, joyful tool for growth.
We hope to see all our St. Thomas More families there! Join us on November 21, 2024, for an evening that celebrates the magic of reading and the power of family involvement in education. Let’s make Family Literacy Night a memorable experience that ignites a love of reading that will last a lifetime!
