The pressure to meet academic standards and excel in standardized testing often overshadows an equally vital component of student development—play.

Date &amp; Time: Thursday, March 27th at 2 p.m. <br><br> In this webinar, Little Rock School District's Assistant Superintendent will explore the high-impact reading intervention strategies that resulted in 75% of students in grades 1-5 receiving one intervention, closing all kindergarten-level skills gaps last school year, with growth levels continuing into 2025. In two months, these interventions have also reduced the percentage of students stuck on beginning of year first-grade skills by 50%. <br><br><em>***Attendees will be able to safely download the "Step-by-Step Guide to Building a District Literacy Ecosystem," which includes free resources and a timeline to help guide district leaders through the implementation process.</em>

Even the best-laid plans for school choice can't compete with strong and supportive relationships between your team and families. So, stay flexible and stay informed.
