We hope today finds you safe and well. Last week, we were excited to share with the network new resources from Springboard Collaborative and Raising A Reader Massachusetts. Springboard Collaborative shared their strategies to support grade-level reading by showcasing the Springboard Connect texting service. Raising A Reader Massachusetts described how they are expanding their online resources to underserved communities hardest hit by the pandemic featuring the Literacy Calendar with simple daily language building ideas for families. Thank you to both partners for sharing your time and resources with the Raising A Reader network.
Be sure to join us this Friday, April 24, for our weekly Town Hall. This week, we will be joined by Common Sense Media as they share their new resource - Wide Open School. Additionally, we will share updated resources and professional development opportunities from RAR National. We look forward to seeing you there!
We are in this together!
Kindest regards,
Michelle Torgerson and the Raising A Reader team
