Once a child has been certified by his or her teacher as being able to read one of a selection of books fluently for the first time, we would like The program currently includes Kindergarten and 1st Grade students. KITE, in collaboration with the Enfield Public and Parochial Schools, has selected developmentally appropriate books for children to read when their teachers feel they are just making the transition to becoming fluent readers. When the child reads one of the designated books, he or she is named a First Reader! Parents will be notified of this achievement and await an invitation to the recognition ceremony. If you are interested in learning more about the First Readers program, becoming a member of the Committee, or sponsoring the program through a business or individual donation, please email your questions/comments to info@EnfieldKite.org. We hope you are as excited about this new program as we are! Please help us to continue to support and celebrate early literacy. The First Readers Class of February 2012:Click photo to enlarge.
