The Beacon Society
Welcome to the Beacon Society Web site!
In today's Web 2.0 world, it's sometimes easy to forget about the essentials of a child's life. Essentials like a good imagination, physical activity, and most importantly, learning how to read. While the Beacon Society promotes the Sherlock Holmes stories, the obvious side effect is that we're also promoting good reading habits.
In an effort to help you bring Sherlock Holmes to the classroom and keep kids engaged in reading, we are always updating the site with new ideas and tools. Please check back often and let us know if you have any suggestions or contributions for us.

This year's winner of the Beacon Award is Watson's Tin Box of Ellicott City, MD for their consistently outstanding work with the middle school system in their community. One of their examples can be seen on the aforementioned Case Studies page. Congratulations! |
