Elevate Eagles with Evening Reading!
📚✨ Elevating Eagles with Evening Reading! ✨📚
It’s been a little while since my last post, but I’m excited to be back! 💙 Today I’m sharing a link to the PowerPoint I created for our Literacy Night held last week. We missed you! 🦅💛
There was so much valuable information shared, and I completely understand how busy a parent’s schedule can be — it’s not easy to make every event. ⏰
Because I’m so passionate about reading, I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss out on this particular presentation. It includes simple, effective strategies for reading with your child — whether they’re young or older. 👶📖
I hope you’ll take a few minutes to look through it. Reading with your child is truly the key to helping them grow into confident, successful readers. 🌟📘
👉 Here’s the link to the presentation: https://www.canva.com/design/DAG_ufS3laA/_gMJTOUxEpiErNpx1NlLig/view?utm_content=DAG_ufS3laA&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h05f01e3cbb
Let’s keep lifting our Eagles higher, one book at a time! 🦅💙✨
