Belvidere Elementary Gets Creative with Family Literacy Night

Belvidere’s Family Literacy night wasn’t just about getting information on reading; it was about experiencing the magic reading creates.  The theme of the event was “Camp-Read-A-Lot.”  The gymnasium was covered with tents and activities that brought books to life.  There were stations of arts and crafts, that weren’t just fun but they had purpose. The activities helped with recognition, recall, building vocabulary and more.  Parents were encouraged to sit down and read to their kids, right there in the gym. Some students even sat inside tents, curled up with a flashlight and a good book.  “Camp-Read-A-Lot” was fun-filled and captured the importance of learning about literacy.

This Saturday, October 10th, Belvidere will be hosting a community walk. It starts at the school at 10am.
