At The English Modern School, we know that a strong partnership between home and school is the most powerful tool in a child’s education. That’s why we were thrilled to open our classroom doors for our recent Literacy Morning, an event designed to bring the magic of learning to life.
For parents, understanding how children learn to read can sometimes feel like a mystery. We transformed that mystery into a shared experience, proving the old say true: Seeing is Believing.
More Than Just an Open House
This wasn’t just a visit; it was an immersion. Parents had the unique opportunity to:
-
Witness firsthand the innovative and engaging techniques our teachers use to build phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension skills.
-
Participate in activities that demonstrated how we turn abstract letters into a world of stories, ideas, and knowledge.
-
Connect with the “why” behind the lessons, gaining valuable insight into our evidence-based literacy curriculum.
Why We Believe in “Seeing is Believing”
Literacy is the essential foundation for all future academic success, from science to social studies and beyond. By inviting parents into our classrooms, we aimed to:
-
Empower Our Parents: When you see the strategies in action, you feel equipped and inspired to support that learning at home.
-
Strengthen the Home-School Connection: This event reinforced the powerful message that we are a unified team, with your child’s success at the center of everything we do.
-
Build a Community of Readers: When children see their parents and teachers collaborating, it sends a powerful message about the value of education.
A Heartfelt Thank You
