Literacy Night (for parents)

Our School Council is excited to host a guest speaker on April 29 at 6:00 PM. Sara Pedon will be joining us to share insights into how children learn to read, why reading development matters, and practical ways you can support your child at home.

Learning to read is complex, especially in English. Even simple patterns can be inconsistent. For example, the letter “a” sounds different in mad and made, and combinations like “gh” change from ghost to rough. These small variations highlight just how much children are processing as they learn to decode text.

If you’ve ever sat beside your child as they work through a book, you know that learning to read takes time, patience, and encouragement but it is absolutely achievable. We hope you’ll join us on April 29 to gain new insights and practical strategies to support your child’s reading journey.
