Suffolk Public Schools is excited to announce the launch of its innovative family reading program, designed to engage students and families in the joy of reading together. This initiative aims to strengthen literacy skills while fostering a love for books in a supportive community environment.
The program, which officially kicked off on October 21st, encourages families to participate in reading activities and discussions centered around selected books. By involving parents and guardians in their children’s reading journeys, Suffolk Public Schools hopes to create a more enriching educational experience that extends beyond the classroom.
At the heart of this program is the belief that reading is a shared adventure. Families will have access to curated book lists and reading guides, making it easier for them to engage with the material and connect over shared stories. This approach not only promotes literacy skills but also enhances family bonding through shared reading experiences.
Suffolk Public Schools recognizes that when families are involved in their children’s education, students tend to achieve higher levels of success. As Superintendent Dr. John B. Gordon III stated, “This initiative is not just about improving literacy; it’s about creating a culture of reading within our community. When families read together, they are not just developing skills but also memories that will last a lifetime.”
The program’s launch is supported by community partners who are dedicated to promoting literacy and educational success in Suffolk. Local organizations, businesses, and volunteers have rallied together to provide resources, host events, and encourage participation in this exciting new venture.
As part of the program, Suffolk Public Schools will host a series of events and activities throughout the year, including reading nights, author visits, and book fairs, aimed at celebrating literacy in fun and engaging ways. Families will also have the opportunity to provide feedback and share their experiences, ensuring that the program remains responsive to their needs.
Suffolk Public Schools’ innovative family reading program is a testament to the district’s commitment to fostering a love of reading and creating lasting connections between families and education. By prioritizing family involvement in literacy, Suffolk is setting the stage for future generations to thrive as readers and learners.
