Parents and Students Invited to Summer Literacy Fair: Plan Ahead to Prevent Summer Reading Loss
All Blaine County parents and students are invited to a Summer Literacy Fair at Bellevue Elementary, 305 N. 5th Street, on Wednesday, May 30 from 6:00-7:30 p.m.
Lead Elementary Reading Teacher on Special Assignment Gloria Wieand wrote, “Enjoy an ice cream social and learn about ways to prevent summer reading loss. 5B Reads, Cox Communications, Bloom, Overdrive, Wood River Middle School, Hailey Library, Bellevue Library, Community Library, Environmental Resource Center and Music n’ Me will be at the event.”
The event is part of 5B Reads, a coalition of schools, libraries, businesses and civic groups from Blaine County inviting citizens to help grow a love of reading and improve literacy in Blaine County.
According to Blaine County School District, one out of every three students is still working to improve reading skills because they are not yet reading at grade level. The long-term effects of low literacy can impact health, employment and financial security for individuals as well as communities.
Join us to plan ahead for summer reading with your family and your community!
