Dear Parents/Guardians,

This part of the site has the purpose of briefly explaining what a literature circle is (I suggest you visit the student site) and how to help and encourage your child to read. As a student you may not remember being invited to discuss books and literature in the class room. Today we are encouraging it through discussion reflecting, retelling and relating in a Literature Circle. In order to help support the "Halton Literacy Model" Literaure Circles are a wonderful tool to help your child enjoy and do well in the language curriculum.

The intent of the Halton Literacy model is to maximize student achievement in reading, writing, and oral/visual language consistent with The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 1-8: Language for all students.

What is a Literature Circle?

How can we help our child read?
