The Literacy Center at Saint Andrew School is designed for to students have the opportunity to make joyful and interesting encounters with literature.

All students in grades Kindergarten through 5th grade make weekly visits to the Literacy Center to hear stories read aloud, respond to stories in a variety of ways (writing, drawing, group-directed organizing and summarizing of details, etc.), and, of course, check-out books for their own reading. 

The Literacy Center is also available to Middle School students for either research or recreational reading.

The Literacy Center features an “Author of the Month” and every grade level does at least one activity based on the work of this author. New books are frequently added to our collection and our “New Arrivals” book baskets are a very popular stop during student “book browsing” time.
