Raising Readers Video Series for Parents

Please click here to view a wonderful link to a quick (and to the point) video series on guiding your child through reading instruction. This series is from the University of Northern Illinois and is extremely helpful for guiding young readers at home. It clearly explains reading and writing instruction and gives simple steps for scaffolding this at home. I have also added this to the "quick links" section to the right of this blog for easy access.

This award, named for Tom Wolfe’s 1979 book, The Right Stuff, is given to an outstanding trainee who goes above and beyond in leadership, teamwork and technology throughout the week. Kirby was chosen out of about 200 campers representing several schools. This is the 3rd time a Trinity student has won this award. Congratulations Kirby!!
