a 3rd grader writes in the margins while studying a book

Reading, Writing, and THINKING!

Our 3rd Grade Bobcats are learning to write notes in the margins as they read, making connections and deepening their understanding of the text!

Brain research shows that actively processing information through writing helps strengthen memory, improve comprehension, and increase retention.

At WES, we want students doing more than just reading words on a page. We want them THINKING deeply about what they read!
