On September 25, 2007 Acme Delco Elementary hosted a K-2 Literacy Night for parents at the Riegelwood Public Library. Rebecca Ham and Stephanie Nelson, both teachers at the school, presented techniques to help parents increase their child’s reading. Public Librarian, Robin Creech, discussed the library’s programs and helped parents get new library cards for students. The school provided each parent a take-home reader that can be exchanged for a new book as often as the parent wishes. Parents read a page and the child reads the next leveled text page. Approximately 30 parents and students were in attendance. Our goal of is to increase parent involvement in literacy. The night was a huge success and the school plans to have a annual Literacy Night.
