At Polk Street School, we continue to foster a love of reading in our students and promote literacy.
Principal’s Bookshelf helps students develop critical listening and comprehension skills by providing them with a meaningful context in which they learn how to think critically about the books they listen to, engage in reflective dialogue with peers, and express their opinions and reactions in conversation. Research has shown that being read to helps to improve reading ability.
The students meet with the principal and enjoy their bagged lunch, snack, and drink as they listen to a book that is read to them. The picture book selected is a book that is enjoyable, has multiple interpretations, and perhaps a lesson to be learned.
