Lynhaven Elementary School

Lynhaven loves Reading!

Across all subjects, our days are filled with reading

On Read Across America Day, Principal Callaway-Wilson and Assistant Principal Ramirez were able to visit some classes for a Read Aloud of One by Kathryn Otoshi. 

Reading with or to your child has so many benefits. Did you know that 20 minutes of reading each day means that your child will be exposed to an additional 1,800,000 words per year and will have read for 851 hours by 6th grade?

Reading with or to your child also helps to 

  • Develop a strong bond between parent and child.

  • Cultivate active listening skills.

  • Develop strong literacy skills.

  • Set our children up for future academic success.

  • Increase the chances that children will become avid readers.
