Part 3 of 3 – Checklist for a Successful PreK-3 Literacy Program
As well as being Child Focused and Teacher Driven, there is another absolutely vital element to any successful reading program – Fun!

Here are five things that help make reading fun:
- Look for bright colors, entertaining illustrations and stunning
photography throughout every book. - Ensure the program offers a variety of genres – traditional tales, fables, fiction and informational.
- Boys need excitement – look for modern, intriguing topics with plenty of visual action on every page.
- Children love meeting new friends – a good program will introduce a variety of characters who return at higher reading levels.
