In honor of National Reading Month, the Port Huron Area School District (PHASD) is stepping up its efforts to promote literacy among young students. Throughout March, teachers and community members are visiting local elementary schools to read aloud and engage children in exciting activities that foster a love for reading.
Indian Woods Elementary recently welcomed Port Huron residents Harold “Choze” Powell and Heather Fagan as guest readers. Both took time from their schedules to inspire students and emphasize the importance of reading.
Despite some finding reading tedious, the benefits are undeniable, including mental fortitude, enhanced comprehension, and imaginative growth. PHASD’s initiative aims to instill these values early on.
As the month draws to a close, families are encouraged to continue celebrating the joys of reading at home, understanding that the benefits extend far beyond March.
