Teaching children language from an early age.

Family engagement is the key to all early learning. Make sure your a part of this great learning opportunity happening Thursday, April 24th, 2025 from 6pm-7pm at Jenks Middle School.

This session provides information to support family engagement through play, household tasks and daily routines. Families provide the foundation for learning and sustain it through a child’s school journey. Learn how to support experiences, expressions, explanations and extras that provide the basis for the Big Six in the Science of Reading: oral language, phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension.
