Hoot Reading recently guested on CTV Winnipeg’s Morning Live to share tips for families getting ready for back to school. Host Ainsley McPhail chatted with Hoot Reading Teacher, Ms. Lindsay, to help viewers learn more about why reading is so important for young learners and how families can help get their little ones ready for the new school year.
The start of the school year is a balancing act. For some families, the kids might be grudgingly smiling in those first day photos, after all, summer was great and now it’s over. While summer was also amazing for parents, you may find yourself holding back that “happy dance” in front of your kids. My youngest started Kindergarten this year and I felt a great sense of freedom when I walked out of her school on the first day. I knew she was just going to rock it, and I had no qualms (don’t ask me about dropping off my older daughter on her first day of Kindergarten. I was a mess!). It’s not all butterflies and rainbows though, and adjusting to new classrooms, teachers, and routines can be tough on the whole family.
