- Learn easy methods to weave literacy into daily routines.
- Understand the support Howell Public Schools offers for early literacy.

Making Literacy a Part of Everyday Life
Developing reading skills doesn’t require costly resources or complex tasks. Everyday interactions such as reading bedtime stories, discussing book illustrations, and singing rhymes can greatly enhance a child’s vocabulary and love for learning.
Family Engagement Literacy Night aims to help families transform these ordinary moments into valuable learning experiences.
Reserve Your Spot
Howell Public Schools eagerly anticipates welcoming Begindergarten and Kindergarten families to this enriching and free evening of education and bonding.
