Help Mitchell earn $5,000.00 and help your child become a stronger reader by registering your child and logging their reading minutes at the following link:

The contest begins March 8, 2010 and ends May 31, 2010. The winning school will be based on the total minutes read, divided by the number of students enrolled at the school at the time of contest registration, so each reading minute counts!!

I found a blog that I think will be especially helpful for parents and teachers wanting to help their children with beginning reading skills: http://beginningreadinghelp.blogspot.com/ .

Also, check out the Animoto video of our Storybook Christmas near the bottom of the page.

Here is another site that parents and teachers may find helpful for their students:
http://www.smarttutor.com/home/. It is an elementary program for helping to build skills in reading and math.
