Georgia Reads Day
Monday September 22
Georgia Reads Day is an opportunity to reinforce structured literacy practices through creative activities. While the day may be perfect for a special read-aloud or guest reader, it is more than just reading! It is also about engaging students, families, and communities in activities for vocabulary development, knowledge-building, writing, speaking, and listening.
