Noted Literacy Specialist Sally Grimes Promotes Early Childhood Literacy

More than 35 parents, educators and community members attended last night's literacy event with Sally Grimes at Tahanto Regional Middle/High School.  Ms.  Grimes spoke about building a strong foundation in early childhood literacy and the important role that adults play in that process.

Ms.  Grimes has been working with PreK-2 teachers in Berlin and Boylston this fall on fundamental reading skills and strategies,  and supporting them in the implementation of the new core reading program. 

Many thanks to the parent-teacher organizations at each of our three schools and  Tahanto student volunteers for helping us at this event.  Our program will be airing on cable soon!
