Thank you for your patience as we work through the forms. More Attendance Tiger photos are coming soon as we get caught up to the current week. Stay tuned to celebrate all of our outstanding attendance winners!

Keep up the great work, WCPC! Every day counts!

Just a Few Minutes a Night Can Make a Big Difference!

Every day your child will be bringing home from school a short reading passage to read for 1 minute, 3 times each night, or a list of words to practice instead of a passage.

This quick and simple practice is one of the best ways to help young readers grow and become more confident readers!

Repeated reading helps students:

Build reading fluency
Increase confidence
Improve accuracy and comprehension
Strengthen vocabulary
Become stronger, more successful readers

The best part? It only takes a few minutes! R

Reading together each evening is a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time with your child while supporting their learning. Your encouragement, praise, and attention can make a lasting impact on your child's reading success.

Thank you for partnering with us and helping your child develop a love of reading. Together, we can help every child become a confident reader! ❤️📖
