What is Read to Me! Any Age! Any Stage!
In order to improve and promote literacy, the California Department of Education (CDE) and Riverside County Office of Education (RCOE) are partnering. Only two counties in the state were selected to receive funding to support the initiative. RCOE Superintendent, Dr. Judy White, selected districts, Palm Springs being one of them, to receive funding and develop an action plan to determine actions that would promote the importance of literacy.
PSUSD early literacy focus is to have all students fluently reading by third grade. We are using the campaign "Read to me! Any age! Any stage!" to promote getting books in the hands of students, reading aloud to children, resources for teachers, and to increase family engagement through family literacy nights throughout the district.
