P.A.R.P. (Parents as Reading Partners)

"Bake a Cake"
She (Mrs. Rudden) used salt instead of sugar when helping her mother (Mrs. Greco) bake a cake.

Cake tastes awful because she could not read and used salt.

Play Date
She (Ms. Fioriti) read "store" instead of "stairs".

She could not read the note so she waited
in the wrong place for her friend (Mrs. Ryan).

She (Mrs. Wirchansky)
 broke through the thin ice while skating
 because she could not read the sign!
THIN ICE!
NO SKATING!

Which Bathroom?

He (Mr. Holland) went into the girl's bathroom
because he could not read.

"Fragile/ Danger"
The kids (Mrs. Bernstein, Mrs. Gusler & Mrs. Young) think the box says "Fluffy Dog".
But when they opened the box,
snakes jumped out!

Two cars (Mrs. Crisci & Mrs. Gerlich) have an accident because one of the drivers read "POTS" instead of "STOP".
