ANSONIA - First graders at John G. Prendergast School are pictured above with speech and language pathologist Amy Diamond.   
Diamond is an artist and creator of the “Literacy through Lyrics” program that uses captivating songs to promote early literacy skills.  
With the help of the Jamie Hulley Arts Foundation, Prendergast first graders were able to create a Rockin’ Readers program at their school. 

Diamond came several times to work with the first graders at Prendergast School. During her visits she presented the students with songs to promote their early literacy skills including songs about long vowels and magic e!  

The program was a success thanks to Diamond and the Jamie Hulley Arts Foundation.
