On March 17, 2009, families enjoyed an evening of reading activities featuring the books of Dr. Seuss (his birthday is in March) at our First Annual Family Reading Night. Children and their parents read "The Foot Book," "Green Eggs and Ham," "One Fish, Two Fish" and others. Families were also introduced to "GROW," a new eco-friendly book by Logan Square author Alyson Beaton. One lucky family received their own autographed copy of the book. 
Studies show that young children who are read to on a daily basis develop strong reading readiness skills and become life-long readers. At Lutheran Day, we take literacy seriously and we make reading a family affair.
In addition to our Family Reading Night, the children in Room 4 participated in Book It, a national reading program that rewards children for reading books.
