Today our students enjoyed hearing volunteers from around the community read aloud some of their favorite stories! This district-wide event takes place at all 17 elementary schools. The goal of the program is to provide community members with an opportunity to inspire young NISD students to become lifelong readers.
While 3rd graders are focusing on developing a love for independent reading, research also shows that reading aloud to children is extremely important. Please see the infographic below from READALOUD.ORG for more information!
This article from Great Schools also helps to explain the importance of read alouds even as children get older. The Hidden Benefits of Reading Aloud- Even for Older Kids!
Please enjoy the photos below of some of our amazing volunteers for this year's event!
