Newburgh Pre-K Center at Washington Street Holds Family Literacy Night
On Tues., Oct. 21, the Newburgh Pre-Kindergarten Center at Washington Street sponsored a Family Literacy Night offering workshops for parents in both English and Spanish.
The Literacy Night, “Much More than the ABC’s,” focused on literacy and language skills. The parents learned how to develop their children’s language skills through reading books together. They learned how to help their children to answer questions, develop vocabulary, and speak in complete sentences. A Power Point presentation using Smartboard Technology showed pictures of literacy activities and explained what the children learn at school. Parents observed teachers reading to Pre-K children, watched a video entitled “Talking and Books,” and also enjoyed musical literacy games such as “Marching around the Alphabet.” The parents were given books to enjoy at home with their preschooler.
Parents enjoyed the evening at school and evaluations were received with positive comments. “I’m really grateful that the Pre-K School offers so much for the students as well as the parents. It really helps keep me involved in my child’s learning,” said one parent.
