Pete the Cat

Literacy is so important in early education. It has been know that by the age of two children who are read to regularly display great language, comprehension, larger vocabularies and higher cognitive skills than their peers.

From the time your child is born, reading out loud is a positive influence. As your child grows, daily reading will help the brain make connections between the written and spoken word, widening vocabulary in the process.
Adding to that benefit, vocabulary knowledge equates to masterful spelling. In fact, reading, spelling and vocabulary are critically important to a child's lifelong achievement.

We were so excited to have Pete the Cat come and visit our school. He was able to show the kids how fun it is to read and just have a good time. Check out all the fun he had at our school.
