001[Music] imagine your child opening a book and instantly recognizing the words on the page. That spark of, "Hey, I know this." That's what reading rockets is all about. We know that when kids miss that spark early on, they can spend years trying to catch up. But when they find it, they soar, turning pages with confidence, joy, and curiosity. Every day in our classrooms, teachers are lighting that spark. They bring stories to life with playful phonics and adventure-filled lessons. But most importantly, they build insight word practice. Words like the and, and because show up everywhere, so learning them is like giving our students VIP passes to every book they will ever read. And this is where you come in, parents, guardians, just 10 to 15 minutes a night can make a world of difference. Flash the
002word. Let them shout it out. Put today's star word on the fridge. Play find the word on street signs during car rides. Those small moments, they add up to big lifts. Every month, our teachers check student progress. And each quarter, we celebrate new word wizards at school. Kids earning badges, certificates, and high fives in their backpacks. When a 5-year-old can read, because without slowing down, middle school chapters start to feel exciting and not intimidating. Let's give them that gift together. Follow along with us. I, Dr. Lenise, will be visiting classrooms. Our librarians will launch fun reading challenges, and we'll spotlight the journey on social media. So, tonight, choose a few site words from the list we've sent home. Read them, post them, play with them, and share your photos using Lenise. With your partnership, we're
003launching strong readers from day one. So, let's lift off together. [Music]
