为了在我们的学校中促进阅读和识字的爱好，《Royal Oak School》在1月23日至27日期间举办了一周的识字周活动，并于1月27日以家庭识字日的庆祝活动作为结束。

在这一周里，学生们有机会在学校参加阅读活动，重点关注罗伯特·芒奇的书籍。每位老师选择了一本罗伯特·芒奇的书，然后他们的班级以特色的方式装饰了他们的教室门。每天下午，学生们还有机会参观其他教室，听一本不同的罗伯特·芒奇的书，并参加与该书相关的学习活动。

学生们被鼓励随时随地带着书在学校内行走，以备不时之需，当“随时随地阅读”（DEAR）的暗示出现时，他们就能准备好。除了DEAR，孩子们还被鼓励在午餐时间主动阅读，当他们“读书被抓”的时候，还会奖励他们。

每天还会有一个“猜芒奇之书”的游戏，通过广播朗读一段罗伯特·芒奇的书，并让学生们猜这是哪本书。

为了结束识字周，Royal Oak School于1月27日与学生和家长一起庆祝家庭识字日。鼓励教职员工和学生们穿着睡衣，梳着奇怪的发型，带上最喜欢的毛绒玩具来学校放松享受阅读。

整个学校与他们的读书伙伴，家长和其他特别朋友，如S4 Constable Will Johnson一起阅读，并庆祝我们对阅读的热爱。

全校集会现场展示了这一周的照片，并在校长Lynn Sparks的致辞中为门装饰颁奖，并有一个特别嘉宾-卡尔加里捷克骑士队的Spencer Wilson出席。Spencer Wilson在会议结束后为每个年级组读书。

为了保持势头，教职员工和学生们期待于二月下旬推出他们的“识字行李”项目。该项目由学习负责人Sandi Harrower主导，由EducationMatters Grant和Royal Oak School Fundraising Society资助，旨在提供家长在家中支持孩子识字发展的有趣、有意义的方式。行李包含一本内容优质的故事书，配以一本引人入胜的非小说书，以及一个支持写作和/或词汇工作的实践组件，还有其他促进对书籍的自然识字连接并拓展学习的活动。

这一周是一个美好的成功，学生、教职员工和学校社区都会久久铭记。

To promote a love of reading and literacy within our school, Royal Oak School hosted a Literacy Week during the week of January 23-27, ending with a celebration on January 27 in honour of Family Literacy Day.

During the week, students had the opportunity to participate in literacy activities within the school with a focus on Robert Munsch books. Each teacher selected a Robert Munsch book, and then their class decorated their classroom door in a way that featured each book. Each afternoon, students then had the opportunity to visit another classroom to hear a different Robert Munsch book and engaged in a learning activity related to that book.

Students were encouraged to travel throughout the school at all times with a book in hand so they were ready for when the cue to “Drop Everything and Read” (DEAR) came on. In addition to DEAR, children were also encouraged to take the initiative to read during lunchtime, and prizes were awarded to students when they were “caught reading”.

Each day, there was also a “guess the Munsch book” contest where an excerpt from a Robert Munsch book was read over the announcements and students were to guess which book it could be from.

To conclude Literacy Week, Royal Oak School celebrated Family Literacy Day with students and parents on January 27. Staff and students were encouraged to wear their pyjamas, have crazy hair and bring a favorite stuffy to school to relax and enjoy reading.

The whole school came together with their reading buddies, parents and other special friends such as S4 Constable Will Johnson to read together and to celebrate our love of reading.

A whole school assembly showcased photos from the week during a presentation, awarded class prizes for door decorating and included a special reading from the Principal, Lynn Sparks. The assembly wrapped up with an introduction of a special guest - Spencer Wilson of the Calgary Stampeders. Spencer Wilson then took the time to read to each grade group after the assembly.

To keep the momentum alive, staff and students are looking forward to the launch of their “Literacy Luggage” program, funded by an EducationMatters Grant and the Royal Oak School Fundraising Society in late February. The program, spearheaded by Learning Leader, Sandi Harrower, is to offer engaging, meaningful ways that parents can support their child’s literacy development at home. The luggage includes a storybook with high-quality language, coupled with an engaging, nonfiction book, a hands-on component to support writing and/or word work along with other activities that promote natural literacy connections to the book and extend learning.

The week was a wonderful success, and one that will not soon be forgotten by students, staff and school community.
