Learning to read opens your life to a wide world of possibilities. Parents play a critical role in helping their child learn to read as well as experiencing the pleasure of reading. All first grade students at Lester Prairie are expected to read at least 350 minutes at home each month. The following students met (or far surpassed) our challenge to read 500 or more minutes last month: Ayla Bebo, Brielle Christen, Maya Eckstein, Gracie Hintz, Clayton Hoof, Eli LaMott, Alivia Otto, Natasha Petersen, Deegan Rolf, Jordan Rehmann, Hannah Smith, Scott Wolfe, Addison Bornmann-Adams, Kaison Walstrom, Kendall Zabel, Colton Novotny, Ella Bebo, Nestor Garza, and Mitchell Peterson. Thirteen of these students read more than 650 minutes, three of them read well over 1000 minutes, while one read more than 2000 minutes! Their teachers, Miss Murphy and Mrs. Brandel, know that the time and effort spent reading together at home is paying big dividends for the students and their families now and in the years to come. First graders’ reading and writing skills are improving tremendously, and students are discovering loads of things you can learn, the enjoyment that you can find in each story, and the delight in sharing books with family members. We hope the students are developing a habit of reading that will continue for a lifetime!
