Testing week is already underway--do you know your child’s reading level? When results come home, they can help you understand your child’s progress and whether they’re reading at grade level or beyond.

Literacy truly opens doors, and building strong reading habits at home makes a big difference. Keeping books within reach encourages confidence and curiosity—and the Metro East Literacy Project can help by providing more books for your home library.

If you’d like extra support, we’re here for you. We offer free books and our Kitchen Table Tutoring program provides one-on-one help for students who need it.

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to support you and your child every step of the way.

For today’s Freedom Friday message, we’d like to share this thoughtful quote from John Green.

Reading gives our minds a chance to rest and refocus. When we immerse ourselves in a story, we step away from the noise and busyness of everyday life. Even if your mind feels crowded at first, try taking a deep breath, finding a cozy space, and allowing yourself a few quiet moments to read.
