Mrs. Dickson recently read an article in US Weekly which featured author, James Patterson, and his views on the process of learning to reading and the development of the love of reading.  The article, similar to an article that appeared in Publishers Weekly, voiced his opinion that the task of challenging children to love to read falls upon us, the adults in their lives.

The staff at White Oak Elementary accept this challenge, and in order to promote this goal, we are adding links to our left sidebar under the headings “Reading” and “Math”.  We want to encourage each of you to explore and practice these important skills.  Watch for new links to be added.
