Early Reading Work at Davisville JPS

• 

Ms. Johnson's Room 216's Puffins have been busy learning about CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words through various word building activities during October literacy centres. With their growing knowledge of consonant and short vowel sounds, the students in the class are learning to segment (break apart) and blend (put together) the sounds to read and write so many new words.

As Ms. Johnson's literacy program demonstrates, we are gradually shifting our literacy practices at the school in order to better address our students' literacy needs. Our ultimate goal, in alignment with the Multi Year Strategic Plan, is to have our students reading to their full potential with confidence, fluency and enjoyment. 

 Family Literacy Night at Davisville JPS

Please join us for our upcoming Family Literacy Night to learn more about your children's literacy development as well as some strategies that you can apply and implement with any piece of text or book you read at home with your children. Please note that this is family friendly event where you can share the joy of reading and learning together with your child.
