Superintendent’s Book of the Month Club

"20 Minutes a Day: Spark your Imagination, One page at a Time." 

Literacy must be the bedrock of all that we do as a system to ensure that our scholars learn to read by the end of second grade. When scholars are exposed to the world around them before Pre-K, it sets them apart in a big world in which they attempt to navigate.  By third grade, our scholars must be reading to learn.  Literacy will enable our scholars to become owners of their learning, champions for their education, and critical and analytical thinkers equipped to face life's many challenges.

• Here is the list of suggested texts for each grade level 

• Please encourage your students to read 20 minutes daily
