Here are a few things to keep in mind about the importance of reading quoted from “Ten Facts Parents Should Know About Reading” by Jim Trelease, author of the New York Times bestseller “The Read-Aloud Handbook.” * “The top winter Olympians come from states where they have the most ice and snow. And reading research shows that children who come from homes with the most print—books, magazines, and newspapers—have the highest reading scores.” * “Listening comprehension comes before reading comprehension. You must hear a word before you can say it or read and write it. If you’ve never heard the word “enormous” in a meaningful way, you won’t understand it when it’s time to read or write it. There’s a kind of “word reservoir” in a child’s brain and one of the jobs of a parent is to pour so many words into it that it overflows into speech and then reading and writing.” * “Children usually read on one level and listen on a higher level. It’s usually not until eighth grade that the reading level catches up to the listening level. This means that first-graders can hear and understand third- and fourth-grade books they can’t read yet.” * “The most economical device to teach reading is already in your home. . . It’s closed-captioning on the TV. Turn it on by using the “menu” button on the remote to reach the “cc” area. Children unconsciously absorb the sight of the words and their sounds, making connections to how print is used. It’s like having a free magazine subscription in the home. All print counts.” Shelly--- table with reading information Jeff- table to sell spaghetti dinner tickets Jennifer- membership table Courtney – Volunteer table Advertisement for used book sale A box or bin to collect used books Some sort of giveaway from borders? Should we have food?

two thoughts.....Wondering if that would get people there? Maybe have a coupon for food on the way home? I don't know just want to get people there and make it easy and cheap for them that night. Subs cut up? Something other than pizza???

Or should it just be a inexpensive event for all by just having cookies and milk? []

Library open so parents can see it.
