Excellent To Share With Younger Siblings

Thank you Bennett's Mill stakeholders for your continued efforts to support our students. You are bridging the gap for many of our students who are navigating middle school. We still have students transitioning and catching up with their reading goals after the interruptions caused by Covid. Please continue to offer story time for your students and direct them to authors who are sharing their stories virtually. This free resource is excellent for all ages and a great way for siblings to support younger siblings in reading.

Excellent resource for both parents and teachers of low level readers.
