We love seeing how school districts unite to uplift the importance of early literacy and Read for the Record! Last year's Best Community Celebration award winner, Icahn Charter School 4, in Bronx, NY hosted a Family Night where families read the book together and then discussed the importance of heritage and culture. The celebration also included a community meal of traditional Mexican foods, a phenomenal dance performance, and rotating stations of fun and engaging Jumpstart activities. 💃 Every family went home with a copy of the book too! 📖 Are you ready to join us for #ReadForTheRecord2024 on October 24th?

Author, The Invisible Toolbox: The Power of Reading to Your Child from Birth to Adolescence; Educator; Speaker
Tool #3: An Intuitive Understanding of How Books Work “Children with no experience with books arrive at school already behind in understanding this rudimentary yet essential information.” ~The Invisible Toolbox: The Power of Reading to Your Child from Birth to Adolescence Parents: Books before iPads, please!
Regional Director, The Dollywood Foundation UK home of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.
'A recent conversation revealed that lots of children who enter primary school these days think that books are a "broken ipad" and they attempt to "swipe it"' This feedback from one of our local programme partners demonstrates the need for book gifting programme like Dollywood Foundation UK's Dolly Parton's Imagination Library for children aged under 5. Children receiving our books develop emergent literacy skills, and know exactly how a book 'works' when they get to school. A recent study showed they even engage in 'book chat' with each other when they see the books in the reading corner that they have at home. The shared experience of all the children receiving the same book through the post each month fosters a culture of reading for pleasure. Bring the Imagination Library to your community and make sure there's no swiping at books! #readingforpleasure #earlyyears #dollyslibrary

Marketing Manager at Optum UK | supporting UK heath and care systems to deliver high quality, efficient healthcare that improves the lives and wellbeing of patients
This week marks my last reading session with my wonderful Chapter One UK student. Reading with my student has been the highlight of my week and being part of this fantastic literacy project has been eye opening. Did you know ... ��� 40% of 11 year-olds in England from disadvantaged backgrounds leave primary school unable to read to the expected standard ❌ 43% of English adults can’t read well enough to understand basic health information ❌ Three times as many 6- to 7-year-olds are now very low attaining readers than before Covid Thank you Optum for giving me this opportunity to help Chapter One UK bridge the reading gap and make a real difference to children’s lives. If any organisation or individual is considering getting involved for the 2024/25 academic year I would say go for it, you will not regret it! https://lnkd.in/eEmKqQWX #OptumUK, #ChapterOne, #literacymatters, #socialmobility

Books Save Lives creates Community Based Literacy projects. First, we rain down hundreds/thousands of diverse books then we teach entire communities our VISCERAL Method. Our technique is uniquely universal by utilizing a customer service approach, a vetted stack of books and an incentive specific to that child in order to heal past literacy trauma and then provide the child with a new transformational literacy opportunity. Our new website is up and running if you want to check it out. If you really want to change literacy, if you think it's a social justice issue, if you think all children should be able to truly access diverse books, then join us, ask us a question, ask us for help. We would be happy to assist. #bookssavelives #literacyjustice #socialjusticethruliteracy https://lnkd.in/e5q_ZSw9

This is an excellent article about embracing the science of reading in adult education. It gives a look into the reality of the underfunded and overlooked adult literacy world. "If the numbers of children currently reading below grade level are correct, we are heading into an even worse adult literacy crisis than we have now. The rallying cry for effective instruction methods for children is loud and clear. But it is time to sound the bell for the refugees of the broken reading education system as well: all those children who didn’t learn and are now adults, still not reading." Literacy Source classes provide explicit alphabetics (phonics and phonemics) instruction to our adult emergent readers. We see this need and are proud of what we do to help stop the adult literacy crisis. Why the Adult Education World Is Overdue In Embracing the Science of Reading – The 74 (the74million.org)

I believe all children deserve to learn in a high performing school. I equip, coach and empower others to improve leadership capacity and accelerate a school’s success.
We began our school with a mission--a focus on serving the community in a very specific way. Yet do to the day to day grind sometimes we are led away from our mission and purpose because we lost sight of it. This doesn't have to be the case. In my book, The Ten Indicators of High-Performing Charter Schools, you can quickly identify where you can focus so that you not only remain true to the mission, but you can also steadily increase the influence you have in your community. Based on 20+ years of research, these Indicators will guide you to a plan that can dramatically improve morale, effectiveness, and influence--within and outside of the school building. You can order you copy by clicking here. You'll get it along with resources and key strategies to accelerte your school's impact. https://lnkd.in/gbYQG4t4
