East Webster Elementary uses different strategies to encourage literacy
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Education is hosting regional literacy meetings to help parents and educators align their efforts in developing reading skills for students in kindergarten through third grade. East Webster Elementary, an “A” rated school, has implemented strategies to get students interested in reading and writing. They have switched from an accelerated reader program to a hundred book club, where students earn prizes for reading a certain amount of books. The school also focuses on intervention and providing one-on-one help to students who need it. It is important for parents to understand what their children are learning at school and work collaboratively with teachers for their child’s success.
