The Play's the Thing

Summer Take Home Books on Their Way

For the third year running, the School District is sending home books for summer reading to all students district-wide in grades 4K-8. The Take Home Books for Elementary and Middle School are part of the district's Early Literacy and Beyond complementary strategy connected to family and community engagement. The program aims to foster love of reading, promote literacy beyond the school building, and ensure that students have access to culturally relevant texts. The Take-Home Packs intentionally include texts that positively lift African American, Latino/a, and neurodiverse characters. The intended use of the Take Home Reading Packs is to increase reading for pleasure at home as well as help to build home libraries that are diverse in nature.
