Reading and writing are lifelong skills, considered by many to be two of the most essential elements of success. Sadly, a increasing number of students are unable to read and write proficiently due to classroom overcrowding and insufficient teaching materials in todays public school system. Here at the Jumping Brain academic facility we have created an effective program called The Bookmaster 100 Club, that seeks to endow your child with a love of reading, which is the first and most important step in a lifetime of literacy. Here are some titles we've been reading: The Street Named Desire - Tennessee Williams Doctor Zhivago-Boris Pasternak Crimes of the Heart-Beth Henly Call It Courage-Armstrong Sperry Freak the Mighty - Rodman Philbrick Christopher Mouse - William Wise Studies have shown that parents who spend at least 15 minutes per day reading with their children form a far stronger bond with their children than those who do not. Book Club can provide an excellent foundation upon which to establish valuable family reading time. Connect with your kids for life!     Top ^
