The beginning of the school year is an exciting time for young children. The earliest years are the time when we concentrate on teaching reading, aiming to have confident readers by Third Grade. Of course, every child has her own schedule. My father loved to tell how when his father tried to get him to learn before he had started first grade, he proudly retorted, “I will larn when I go to skool.”
The library is here to help all readers and those learning to read. Is there something confusing, something you are curious about? Ask your child’s teacher, and ask us. If we don’t have an answer, we’ll try to find one.
Don’t forget to keep reading aloud, and check our Early Reader section.
