It is with heavy hearts that @bookstokidsco has decided to cancel the 2020 Children’s Festival of Stories.

No one is born a reader, but from birth everyone is learning the sounds, words, and meanings that will lay a foundation for a lifetime of #literacy.
How to foster it... https://t.co/3fQL7Bi04L

[Books To Kids @bookstokidsco]

"You've had people support accountability measures for students and teachers, but not necessarily be willing to think about and look at these larger structural factors that are actually impacting what's happening in the classroom." #literacy https://t.co/zhQOKZ6B31

[Books To Kids @bookstokidsco]

"Research shows that children become the strongest readers when they learn to sound out words and slowly build a knowledge base of words they have memorized. But many students are taught by guessing based on pictures...or other contextual clues." #literacy

[Books To Kids @bookstokidsco]

"Compared to reading, writing is more active, encouraging students to be independent thinkers, take ownership over their own stories and ideas and communicate them clearly to others." #kidlit

[Books To Kids @bookstokidsco]

"For nearly 30,000 of Denver’s 93,000 students, English is a second language; the most common first language is Spanish." https://t.co/cegN8HmVlV

[Books To Kids @bookstokidsco]

"English teachers are increasingly trying to teach comprehension using short texts and excerpts from novels. But if they just read whole novels aloud at a fast pace, they might get better results." via @Forbes #literacy #kidlit https://t.co/GgjwpRhnTx

[Books To Kids @bookstokidsco]

“Kids who hear more vocabulary words are going to be better prepared to see those words in print when they enter school."

We're here to help bridge the #literacy gap.
