On Tuesday, February 28th our PARP Fall Season will kick off with PARP Guest Reader Day.  PARP will run for three weeks from Wednesday, February 29, 2012  through Wednesday, March 21, 2012 (3/28 for 8th graders).   We hope that all students and parents who participated in this program in the past will take part in it again.  We also hope that students and parents who have not participated in previous years will join in.  All students in grades PreK-8 and their parents or caregivers are eligible. Let’s make this the best PARP season yet!

 

 

Parents As Reading Partners (PARP) is a collaborative effort among parents, teachers, and community to build a reading partnership between the home and the school.  PARP programs encourage parents to read with their children for at least 15 minutes per day.  Learning to read is the single most important activity in a child’s education. Studies show that children who read at home are better prepared to succeed in formal education.
For more information about the history and purpose of PARP please visit the New York State PTA at

Basic PARP Program Rules

·       Spend 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week, reading with your child for a total of 75 minutes for each week.

·       Either you may read to your child, your child may read to you, or you may read quietly together.  If you are not available to read, your child may read with a grandparent, brother, sister, or a friend.  Students in grades 5-8 may read 60 of the required 75 minutes (i.e. 4 of the 5 days) on their own.  A parent must verify that the student has read.

·       If you miss a day, you can make it up the next day.

·       Fill in the time sheet each day after reading.  Put the number of minutes you read in the appropriate box.

·       Sign, then scissor off the proper weekly portion from the time sheet, and have your child give it to his/her homeroom teacher on each of the Wednesdays during the PARP program.

All students in grades PreK-8 and their parents or caregivers are eligible.

Your child’s time sheet MUST be returned each Wednesday to ensure eligibility for the weekly awards.  Students who complete all three weeks will receive a bonus reward of a $5 coupon to our local bookstore Montauk Bookshop.
