Byrneville Elementary Celebrates Florida Literacy Week

January 19, 2013

Students across the area have spent the past week celebrating Florida Literacy Week.

At Byrneville Elementary School, numerous guest readers stopped by during the week to read to students. Friday, NorthEscambia.com’s publisher read from “Extra Credit” by Andrew Clements to fifth grade students, and from “The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester” by Barbara O’Connor to fourth graders.  Afterwards, students had an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about NorthEscambia.com and how media organizations operate.

    Thanks for sharing. My child is in one of these classes and could not stop talking tonight about how William from NorthEscambia read to them today. He said you had a super narrator voice and they learned alot about NorthEscambia. I know you are busy…thanks William for taking your time to read to the kids!
