  • Storytime in the Kiva

    We have a story time lesson every week. These lessons focus on early literacy skills using a wide variety of stories, songs and activities that support the classroom curriculum. 

    Story time benefits:

    • Helps children develop a lifetime love of books and reading.
    • Provides early language and literacy skills.
    • Helps children increase their vocabulary and discover new ideas.
    • Introduces children to a wide variety of authors/illustrators and writing styles.
    • Helps children increase their listening skills and attention span.

  • Book Checkout for Students

    STUDENT LIBRARY CHECKOUT

    Your child will visit the library and check out one (1) library book every week. The book must be returned on or before your child’s next library visit so your child can check out a new book.  All of our students are given a special library book bag to transport their library book to and from home.  

      

     

     

  • Lost or Damaged Books

     LOST OR DAMAGED BOOKS

      Accidents do Happen!

      If a book accidentally gets damaged or lost, please contact the librarian as soon as possible. (erin.diaz@pisd.edu)

     If the book is damaged beyond use or a book is lost, a bill statement will be issued showing the replacement cost of the book. You may send in CASH or make out a check to Beaty ECS.  

     If a page from a book is torn, do not attempt to repair the book at home.  We have special tape that we use to repair the books.  Simply return the book with a note.  

  • Shared Reading TIps

    • Read together every day. Read to your child every day. Make this a warm and loving time when the two of you can cuddle close.
    • Give everything a name. Build your child’s vocabulary by talking about interesting words and objects. For example, “Look at that airplane! Those are the wings of the plane. Why do you think they are called wings?”
    • Say how much you enjoy reading. Tell your child how much you enjoy reading with him or her. Talk about “story time” as the favorite part of your day.
    • Read with fun in your voice. Read to your child with humor and expression. Use different voices. Ham it up!
    • Know when to stop. Put the book away for awhile if your child loses interest or is having trouble paying attention.
    • Be interactive. Discuss what’s happening in the book, point out things on the page, and ask questions.
    • Read it again and again. Go ahead and read your child’s favorite book for the 100th time!
    • Talk about writing, too. Mention to your child how we read from left to right and how words are separated by spaces.
    • Point out print everywhere. Talk about the written words you see in the world around you. Ask your child to find a new word on each outing.
    • Get your child evaluated. Please be sure to see your child’s pediatrician or teacher as soon as possible if you have concerns about your child’s language development, hearing, or sight.
