Bristow Run literacy night welcomes characters
T. Clay Wood Elementary School, which opened in September, held its first literacy night on Dec. 13. From 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The nightwas considered a success by Principal Andrew Buchheit, shown here with Dr. Seuss’ Grinch and Norman Bridwell’s Clifford the Big Red Dog.
Literacy night was but one of the events the school scheduled to promote its first book fair, which started Dec. 12 and ends Dec. 16 at noon.
Information on the school’s website, tclaywoodes.schools.pwcs.edu, showed what a difference daily reading can make to increased scores on standardized tests.
Reading just 15 minutes a day can increase scores by an average of 70 percent, for example.
Many other area elementary schools are holding book fairs and literacy nights as well. See http://www.pwcs.edu and link to individual schools to get more information.
