Joyful Literacy – The Family Summer Literacy Boost

PCS is excited to provide our families of Kindergarten to Grade 2 children free access to a series of literacy videos produced by Dr. Janet Mort and the Joyful Literacy Teacher Team (all from BC). The Family Summer Literacy Boost consists of ten, 20 minute videos that introduce parents to the most important literacy foundational skills. The videos are accompanied by handouts with game and activity ideas that parents may choose to use with their children over the summer and into the next school year.
