Literacy

Welcome to the Literacy Center homepage! 

Mrs. Eppinger, Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. Zukowski, Mrs. McBrien

We have four teachers located in the Literacy Center.  Mrs. Parsons is our Reading Specialist and splits her time working with between working with teachers at all grade levels and students in fourth and fifth grade.  Mrs. Eppinger is our Early Intervention Teacher and works with first graders on early reading strategies.  Mrs. McBrien works with both first and second graders as our Early Intervention Tutor, while Mrs. Zukowski, our Literacy Tutor, reads with students in second through fifth grade.

            We are here to support your children and help them develop the strategies they will need to be life-long readers and learners.  Our instruction revolves around the five pillars of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.  We encourage students to read nightly at home and help them select just right books for reading in school.
