First graders get a taste of authorship
First-graders from the
Warm Springs Eagle Acad-
emy will join other local first-
graders for the Annual Gift
of Literacy celebration.
The first-graders will travel
this Friday, May 28, to the
Madras High School Per-
forming Arts Center.
About 300 students are
expected to participate.
The Gift of Literacy pro-
gram runs for eight months,
and is designed to promote
the love of reading at an early
age. The program inspires
long-term success in school
and in life.
At the Friday event, the
students will meet children’s
author Eric Kimmel, who will
lead them in creating stories
of their own.
Kimmel began dreaming
about becoming an author in
kindergarten, and has now
published more than 50 titles,
many of which have won
numerous awards.
The author’s books have
appeared on school and li-
brary recommended lists, and
have won prestigious awards
such as the Caldecott Honor
Medal (for Hershel and the
Hanukkah Goblins) and the
Sydney Taylor Picture Book
Award (for The Chanukkah
Guest and Gershon’s Mon-
ster).
“Our main goal is for the
kids to have fun with literacy,
discover the love of reading
and be celebrated by our com-
munity,” said Melinda Boyle,
director of curriculum and
instruction for the Jefferson
County school district.
“This is my favorite day
of the year,” she said. “I love
watching the children walk
away from the event with the
book they received and feel-
ing excited about reading.”
Clifford the Big Red Dog,
Skippy John Jones and Pete
the Cat will also be on hand
to meet students, as they par-
ticipate in a number of vol-
unteer-led activities, including
group readings, art projects
and games.
Students will also receive
a hardbound copy of one of
the six books highlighted in
this year’s program, a book
bag filled with educational
goodies, lunch and a t-shirt.
