KG/1st Grade Parent Program 2024
2024-2025 School Year
Kindergarten and 1st grade families were invited to West Central on the morning of October 7th for our first parent program of 2024.
Parents and students listened to a fantastic story titled, Aaron Slater, Illustrator by Andrea Beaty. The main character, Aaron, is dyslexic and struggles to read and write even though he has longed to read ever since his mother read books to him as a baby. While Aaron must work very hard to learn to read, he finds comfort in his amazing drawing skills. This story is similar to David Robert’s life, the illustrator of the book, who also struggled (He still does!) with reading and spelling.
An accompanying slideshow discussed Dyslexia and other learning difficulties, as well as ways the staff at WC strive to meet the needs of all our students. Then students and adults completed a directed drawing activity together.
Families are encouraged to search for “Art For Kids Hub” on youtube.com to find many other directed drawing activities to do together at home.
