Read Across America

The Literacy, Biliteracy, & Library Media Services are celebrating Read Across America Week! We encourage all to join the millions across the country in celebrating this annual National Education Association event Monday, March 1 – Friday, March 5.

The goal of this event is to show students the joy and value of reading and to build a nation of readers. Please help students discover their own voices and learn from others' voices. In SAISD, we want to place a spotlight on diverse, young authors and their authentic work. This link includes engaging read alouds recorded by our own staff!

Building Engagement

Our current instructional charge is to create a simultaneous online and in-person environment where students will speak, turn on cameras, and interact with teachers and peers to learn content. Building relationships and creating instructional routines repeated every day will support increased engagement. This guide helps provide some tips for doing just that, as well as some recommended digital tools to support blended learning. If we build it, they will come!

Click here to access this book, click here for a brief explanation of the tips, and click here to see a recording of a training with teachers, engaged in learning on the tips.
