Developing Confidence and a Love of Reading

 In this presentation, Leaman Elementary Principal Cinnamon Johnsrud and Librarian Kara Duff will explore how relationships, access to engaging books, and meaningful reading experiences can help children develop confidence and a genuine love of reading. They will share perspectives from both the school and library, discuss some of the opportunities and challenges surrounding literacy education today, and highlight how schools, families, and community partners can work together to help every child see themselves as a reader.
