LLS Reading Corner

Reading is the single most influential subject in helping children through their entire educational and professional life. There are many wonderful websites here that encourage youngsters to read; be sure to visit them all!

Scholastic Book Clubs

The best gift any parent can give a child is the love of good books and the joy and benefits of good reading. Children who read at home, or are read to, have a head start on reading success in school. LLS is participating in the Scholastic Book Clubs™ . Each month during the school year your child's teacher will send home a Club flyer with a different selection of books offered. You'll find award-winning books, as well as old and new favorites. The books span a wide range of children's reading levels and interests and they are inexpensive.
