All About PARP
Parent Letter

Dear Parents,

We all want our children to develop good reading habits. Reading is THE most important skill learned in school, but like all skills, reading requires practice. School cannot provide enough practice alone. Your help is needed, as well. Pick A Reading Partners (PARP) provides the perfect opportunity for you to read with your child. Fifteen minutes a day makes a big difference in your child’s attitude toward reading. It exposes your child to new vocabulary, helps in comprehension, and introduces your child to new ideas, new places, and new things. It is one of the most important things you can do for your child.
    
Please plan to take part in this year’s PARP. You are welcome to become involved in all the PARP activities, both at home and in school. You and your child will be glad that you did!
