Allen ISD Literacy

A great reminder: edutopia.org/blog/literacy-…

Without easy access to books, all the strategies in the world won’t turn children into avid readers.

Don't forget to register for Wednesday's LIVE webinar, "Guiding Readers By Interest, Not Level," co-hosted by @sljournal. Join us 1/31 at 4pm EST for a conversation about leveling, libraries, reading comprehension. Register now! hubs.ly/H09PQPj0 #FPLiteracy

Researching and writing for presentations, proposals, and other WIP today. I'll just leave this bit for you:)
