Read to Me
Special to the Ledger
Over the years, count
less studies have been
performed to determine
what makes some stu
dents more academically
successful than others.
While a wide range
of factors have been
identified, one strategy
was found to have the
greatest positive ef
fect on later academic
success— early exposure
to books and reading.
Reading for as little
as 20 minutes per day
exposes children to 1.8
million words per year,
and students who are
exposed to more words
will score 90% better on
standardized tests than
their peers. In addition,
exposure to literature
can foster a love of
reading, which promotes
lifelong learning.
For these reasons, the
Lee County High School
9th Grade Campus
began the “Read to
Me” initiative so that
children can continue
to be read to even after
the school day ends. In
an effort to exhibit the
importance of reading to
children,“Read to Me”
showcases students,
teachers, coaches and
community members
reading books via video.
Guest readers can read
a book of their choice
and be videotaped. The
recording is then posted
to the “Read to Me” but
ton on the Lee County
School System website
(lee.kl2.ga.us) under the
Trojan Spotlight link.
After clicking on this
link, children can select
the story they want read
to them. They are able
to see the words and pic
tures as the guest reader
brings the story to life.
This provides children
with the opportunity to
enjoy the inflection and
pronunciation of a prac
ticed reader, as well as
the colorful illustrations
of the book.
Books will be added
regularly to the site and
children all over the
world can log in to hear
their favorite story being
read. This site is perfect
for busy parents since
they can have a book
read to their children
in the car, in waiting
rooms, at home...any
where!
This is a new initia
tive for LCHS Ninth
Grade Campus and we
do need some help. We
need readers! If you or
someone within your
Home • Auto • Life • Bank
organization would like
to be a guest reader, we
would love to hear from
you. Simply contact the
school at 903-3590 and
ask to speak to the media
specialists about coming
to read. You can bring
a favorite book, or we
have some you can select
from.
We hope that the “Read
to Me” link will become
a valuable part of your
child’s reading life.
