@ Oakridge Grade 1 it’s Mystery reader time and bonding time

Reading To Children Is Very Beneficial
Reading to a child makes it easier for him or her to develop speech. As a matter of fact by looking at a picture in a book or a word and then hearing how it is pronounced out loud, children can learn new words along with their pronunciation. Reading to a child is also an ideal opportunity for a parent or a teacher to spend some time with their child. Reading an interesting children's story to them accomplishes this. As children get older, they will read on their own, building on the interest and experience of being read for years. This sets off a life-long interest/aptitude in reading which comes in handy in any aspect of our lives especially during the formative school years right through college and beyond.
One of the potential modern day challenges parents are faced with relates to the "high-tech" revolution with the advent of computers, internet and video/computer games. Parents may cut into a child's reading time and interfere with parents reading to them. I think that kids need to become technology savvy, but parents can still accompany them while they work/read and learn on the computer or internet. However, parents should also make sure that they reserve time regularly to read a book to their kids, an old fashioned, yet still very beneficial thing to do.

So @ Oakridge we give an opportunity to parents to come and read out a story to kids because that’s a Mystery reader time and a bonding time.

This is what the mystery Reader has to say!!!!!! Hima Ganne class 1-B (parent)

All the children were extremely participative and interested during the entire book reading session. The kids were excellent in communicating their thoughts and feelings. I had a wonderful time reading to them and would love to do so again.
