Reading Bus

The Title I Reading Bus is used for community outreach and family engagement programs. Please see the schedule for current community locations and times.

 

Reading Bus Schedule

When schools are closed for any reason, the Reading Bus will not be in operation.

The Reading Bus has a teacher (and a driver) who engage families in literacy activities. Its main purpose is to promote reading and model early literacy learning to preschool children and their families. In community locations, an adult family member needs to be present with the child to visit the bus. In some locations a Spanish-speaking co-teacher is available.

What communities will the Reading Bus visit?

The Reading Bus is scheduled to visit VBCPS Pre-K classrooms and other community locations. Please see the current schedule for specific locations.

What type of reading activities will occur on the Reading Bus?

Preschool-age children are read stories and introduced to an assortment of age-appropriate lessons designed to engage them in literacy through hands-on activities using puppets, blocks, puzzles and music. Children participate in crafts and other reading activities with every book, poem and nursery rhyme introduced by the teacher on the bus.
