JFK Reads, much more than a reading program for kids!

Elementary School is excited to announce the launch of JFK Reads! This program has been reinvented this year to include Reading Journals. This reading incentive program allows Elementary students to track their reading and respond to creative writing prompts.

Through JFK Reads, students will have the opportunity to explore various books and stories, enhancing their literacy skills and expanding their global understanding. A unique aspect of this program is the active involvement of parents, who can participate alongside their children in reading sessions and discussions, creating a supportive community around literacy.

By promoting reading within the JFK community, we aim to develop critical thinking, creativity, and curiosity in our students—attributes essential to the IB framework. JFK Reads is more than just a reading program; it is a stepping stone towards nurturing well-rounded individuals who appreciate diverse perspectives and are prepared to engage with the world thoughtfully.

Al promover la  lectura dentro de la comunidad JFK, buscamos desarrollar en nuestros alumnos el pensamiento crítico, la creatividad y la curiosidad, atributos esenciales del perfil del IB. JFK Reads es más que un programa de lectura; es un paso hacia la formación de individuos integrales que valoren la diversidad de perspectivas y estén preparados para interactuar con el mundo de manera reflexiva.
