Students, Staff Across Aldine ISD Drop Everything And Read

Disponible en:

Thousands across Aldine ISD took 10 minutes to enjoy a book on DEAR Day.

A student at Kujawa Elementary School dropped everything and read on DEAR Day.

On Monday, April 12, thousands across Aldine ISD set aside just for reading. The best part? It didn’t involve a book report! Students (and adults) could pick a book they are currently reading or enjoy a book together.

There are so many things to do in a day: work, school, sports, television, phone, chores, etc. Even individuals that love to read can struggle to make time to read for pleasure.

DEAR Day is an excellent reminder to everyone that we need to make time to read. Reading should form a part of our daily activities, and we need to prioritize it.

Fostering a love of literacy is important to Aldine ISD leaders who know and understand that literacy is the foundation to success in school, college, and career. The district kicked off the 2020-2021 school year with a revamped literacy framework. Demedia Edwards, director of literacy, aligns AISD’s Student Achievement strategic priority’s work. Specifically, its goal that all third-graders will read on or above grade level. Edwards and the district are committed to increasing literacy gains among students to ensure they are set up for a life of choices and opportunities.
