Turn up the music and build language through song.
For Sing Together Wednesday, share a favorite song, nursery rhyme or silly tune with a child. Singing helps children hear and play with sounds, words and rhythm—and makes literacy part of an everyday moment.
No perfect voice required. Just sing, smile and enjoy the moment together.

📚✨ Comparing Text & Interviews in 7th Grade ELA! ✨📚
Our 7th grade ELA students in Mr. Mitcham’s class put their critical thinking skills to work! 🧠📖
Students created a T-chart graphic organizer to answer the question: “How does the text differ from the interview?”
They compared an interview about Mom & Me & Mom by Maya Angelou with the text of the book, looking closely at how the two versions presented information. Students discovered that the text provided more descriptive details, giving readers a deeper look into the story and its characters.
What a great way to practice comparing sources, identifying details, and supporting ideas with evidence from the text!👏📚

Every conversation is a literacy moment.
Celebrate Talk Together Tuesday by starting a conversation with a child. Ask about their day, listen to their ideas and encourage them to tell you more. Every question, answer and shared laugh helps build language, vocabulary and connection.
Try asking: “What was your favorite part of your day?”

📚🔍 Morning Mystery Readers Made Their Appearance at NEMS! 🔍📚
Our students had fun listening closely this morning as Mystery Readers popped up over the intercom to read. Students listened for clues and tried to figure out WHO was reading and WHAT book they were sharing! 📖🤔
There was even a little friendly competition! 🎉 The first class to correctly identify the Mystery Reader earned a treat!
What a fun way to celebrate Georgia Reads and encourage our students to listen, think, and READ! 📚💙

Talk More. Sing More. Read More.
Your voice is one of your child’s most powerful learning tools. Talking through everyday moments, singing favorite songs and reading together help newborns and young children build language, strengthen connections and develop skills that support lifelong learning.
Healthcare providers, caregivers and families all play an important role. Start early, make it part of every day and remember: every word makes a difference.
