Reading Takes Center Stage at Kensington Parkwood’s Literacy Day
Posted On June 10, 2026
The day included an opening assembly, Joe Ramano’s “Dreams and Magic.” Each grade level designed their own block activity, which included:
- creating their own comic strips, characters or posters.
- a “Book Tasting” to share their favorite books, complete with red and white gingham tablecloths and bookmark-making.
- a “Book Walk” to see sidewalk posters enticing readers to choose their next read.
Other fun parts of the day included “Paws and Pages,” where students took turns reading to a therapy dog. During “Camp Out and Read,” students bring towels or blankets and enjoy quiet time reading in a tent or canopy outside. Some chose to camp out in the gym on cushions with flashlights!
