Literacy Resources K-5
Welcome to our Literacy Page dedicated to the families and caregivers of students in Kindergarten through grade 5.
We want our families and caregivers to be empowered with these 3 things. :)
1) We want to build your advocacy because you are also responsible for your student's learning and need to advocate for them.
2) We want to build your agency so that you know how to help your student in their learning. Please click on this website to learn more about myView Literacy, our new curriculum for Grades K-5!
3) We extend an invitation to you because you are ALWAYS welcome to support your student's learning.
We are here to help so please let us know what you need!
