2. A NEW LEASE ON LEARNING AT
ROSE HOLLOW !!
Because good reading skills are needed for many
academic activities, the Rose Hollow Lower School is
committed to supporting our students’ efforts to become
fluent readers, to increase their expressive vocabulary, as
well as ones to understand, think critically about and
enjoy what they are reading!

ADDITION TO OUR DATABASES AND PRINT
MATERIALS, WITH THE USE OF NEW READING

FORMAT, AVAILABLE ON E-READERS AND E-
TABLETS. . .

The RHLS library would like to help you to:
• familiarize yourselves with the new software and how
the different programs can be used, in a multitude of
ways, on our school hardware/devices—which are
available go check out and take home on weekends, *
• and re-familiarize yourselves with our Play Away and
MP3-player read-along materials.
• Also, we can help you to upload materials onto your
own child-friendly mobile devices, ie., laptops,readers ,
tablets, touch pads and others.
*This will be for weekends , only, until we build up our classroom-sized collections.

5. SO. . .
Besides wanting to support our students with
their continued performance on standardized
testing, we want to help you and your child
acquire access to non-print materials.
To accomplish this, we will be open every
Wednesday evening, until 8:00 p.m.!

6. .Later, we would also like to introduce
SOL content- related family activities,
initiated by the library, for fun and
prizes!* We have some amazing content

compass or even GPS navigation on a new mobile
digital device!)

as well as independent publishing companies distribute ebooks that
can be viewed , or read , on various e-reading devices.

12. We welcome any and all suggestions for additions to our
permanent electronic and print collections.

13. Next, we have “apps” which is short for "applications," which are . . . [functional]
on most web-browsing devices and are nothing more than a mini-web
[/database] program designed to assist users in some way or another”) (Emily
McDaniel, 2012) They come in subjects from A-Z, but the educational apps are
what we focus on at school.

e-tablet screen will open up a world of possibilities.
