Summer <strong>2012</strong><br />

A special to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Communicator</strong> by<br />

Ms. Bobbie-Ann Jordan, Principal<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Pennsville</strong> Reading Coaches (Jenifer Mancine, Linda McKelvey, and Marian Sennstrom) hosted a<br />

family reading celebration for their students on April 3 in the Valley Park <strong>School</strong> Library. <strong>The</strong> families<br />

participated in various literacy based games and activities. Each child received a special reading visor,<br />

a book, a bookmark, a dry erase board, and copies of reading games to play at home. <strong>The</strong> reading<br />

coaches also provided important information for parents including why reading at home is so<br />

important, tips for working with their children, word attack strategies, and fun ways to practice sight<br />

words. One of the highlights of the evening was a guessing activity entitled “Look Who Grew Up<br />

Reading Books.” In this activity, students were asked to identify their teachers, principals, and<br />

reading coaches from childhood pictures. <strong>The</strong> evening was a wonderful opportunity for families to<br />

celebrate reading together!
