Our recent Elementary Literacy Night, “Family Reading Quest,” brought families together for an evening of fun, hands-on learning focused on the five pillars of reading. Families explored interactive stations that built phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension while learning simple strategies to support reading at home. The night was filled with teamwork, creativity, and meaningful family engagement as students and families strengthened both literacy skills and connections through reading.
