• Be sure to visit the "Family Supports for Reading" section in the VDOE Resource Hub, which includes helpful strategies, tips, and fun activities to strengthen reading skills and inspire a love of reading at home.

• By working together, we can give every student the tools they need to grow as confident, capable readers.
