The Family the Reads Together…
From: “Is Something as Simple as Reading With My child Worth it?” Literacy Connections
In a word: Yes!
Children who were read to at least three times a week by a family member were almost twice as likely to score in the top 25% in reading than children who were read to less than three times a week.

Where was the 1st Thanksgiving?
As we approach the festivities of Thanksgiving Day, here’s a question that you THINK you know the answer to. But do you?
Where and when was the 1st English Thanksgiving in the New World?
The history books state it was in 1621 at Plymouth Mass. where the colonists and Native Americans celebrated the recent harvest.
This was a tradition that the Pilgrims had brought with them from the old country, England.
But there was also a thriving British colony in Virginia. Established in 1607 the early settlements built Jamestown and expanded up the James River.
Berkeley Plantation, home of Benjamin Harrison, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and the home of President William Henry Harrison, claims to have held the 1st official Thanksgiving feast in 1619. The site lays claim to America's first official Thanksgiving in 1619, when a group of British settlers knelt in prayer of thanks for a healthy arrival across the Atlantic.
Both are deserving of the honor, offer a great deal of history and are well worth the visit.
