We believe that all students with disabilities are literacy learners. they have the right to:
*Opportunities to successfully engage in reading and writing activities in language and print rich environments.
*Effective literacy instruction throughout their school lives from
teachers and other service providers who are knowledgeable about and
skilled in literacy instruction methods and principles.
*Access to varied models of print at all levels that are meaningful and appropriate.
*An interactive learning community that maintains high expectations for literacy learning
Bridge View School has been enthusiastically embracing the literacy initiative from the district. Students are learning to use alternative pencils to write; giving ALL students access to writing. Classrooms are also participating in the four blocks of literacy (shared reading, writing, self-selected reading, working with words) in a variety of ways learning to read and write. We are collecting environmental print boxes (your cereal, cracker, snack boxes, etc.). Please, if you can, send the boxes to school with your child.
BVS students will participate in 3 RIF book give aways. Reading Is Fundamental known as RIF, is a national program that gives books to school age children to encourage reading at home. The first book giveaway will be Oct 12 and 13th. Students will be receiving books to add to their home library. Students will be assisted in choosing a book but the final selection of the book is each student’s choice. Parents are invited to volunteer at school that day for an hour or from 9:30-3pm. Contact Deb Gardner if interested. Thank-you.
Other RIF book give away dates are:
Feb 8th and 9th
April 12th and 3th
