September is Literacy Month - Resources for ISD 728 Parents and Families

At ISD 728 we believe literacy is the foundation for success in school and beyond. National Literacy Month is a wonderful opportunity to highlight the role families play in supporting children’s reading and writing growth at home.

To make this easier, our District Literacy Site provides a variety of resources you can use to strengthen literacy skills outside of school. One key feature is the Minnesota Department of Education’s Family Read Toolbox, which includes practical tips, activities, and tools for families to support reading development at every age.

We encourage you to visit our district site, explore the resources available, and find small, meaningful ways to make reading a daily habit in your home. Together, we can foster a love of literacy that lasts a lifetime!
