 The Family Reading Connection
The Family Reading Connection is one of the ways that Brookside School is addressing the achievement gap. Students who need additional reading support are invited, along with their parents, to attend a series of four evening workshops throughout the school year. Each of the workshops focuses on a different aspect of literacy, providing parents with tools and strategies for helping their children at home. The workshops are conducted in English and Spanish. At the Family Reading Connection workshop on January 10, Brookside teachers, Mrs. Sue Cary and Mrs. Roberta Brown led a workshop on reading comprehension. They taught parents strategies for helping their children tackle tricky words. photos
