Come Read With Me At Grindrod Elementary

The Come Read with Me program, sponsored by the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS), recently welcomed 14 parents of Kindergarten and Grade 1 students to Grindrod Elementary for a session focused on supporting reading development at home.

During the 60-minute workshop, parents learned practical strategies to build their children's reading motivation and confidence. As part of the program, Terra Stephenson, Children's Programs Coordinator with LASS, provided each participating child with a book and literacy-focused games to help families continue reading and learning together at home.

The workshop reflects the shared commitment of LASS and local education partners to helping children develop strong literacy foundations. Through awareness, education, and community partnerships, LASS offers a variety of literacy programs for children, families, and adults throughout the North Okanagan-Shuswap region.
