Reading at Home: Nurturing Infinite Potential through Literacy

 

At PS 192, we are excited to introduce a new initiative designed to empower our students and strengthen their reading skills right at home. "Reading at Home: Nurturing Infinite Potential through Literacy" is an effort to bridge school learning with family engagement, helping parents support their child’s educational journey.

 

We believe that reading is a vital pathway to unlocking each child’s **infinite potential**. When children are engaged in meaningful reading experiences, they develop a natural curiosity, build resilience, and foster a lifelong love for learning. By making reading an integral part of their home environment, we nurture their growth and provide them with the tools to thrive academically and personally.

 

To support this initiative, we have curated a list of recommended books and resources specifically tailored for each grade level, from Pre-K to 5th grade. Each book has been selected to align with our core values of Justice, Honor, and Self-Discipline. These books not only build academic skills but also support socio-emotional learning (SEL), encouraging students to become compassionate citizens and independent thinkers.

 

The reading guide includes:
- Tips for Parents: Strategies to foster reading habits and engage in meaningful discussions with your child about what they read.
- Free Online Books: Age-appropriate books that align with PS 192's mission of promoting perseverance, love, empathy, and respect.
- Additional Resources: Links to interactive and educational websites where children can explore stories and develop reading comprehension skills.

 

We encourage all parents to take advantage of this resource by visiting our website, where you’ll find a detailed guide divided by grade level. Whether it’s setting aside time for a family reading session, discussing a book’s themes, or simply exploring new stories together, your involvement will play a crucial role in your child’s success.

 

Together, let’s inspire our children to reach new heights of knowledge and excellence, keeping in mind our school’s vision: "Good, better, best. Never let it rest until your good is better, and your better is best.”

 

Thank you for your commitment and partnership in making PS 192 the school of joyful learning and endless possibilities!
