Ways to Encourage Literacy During the Holidays

Happy Holidays! What books will you be sending home with your students to read over the holidays?

Every student in Iowa has free access to hundreds of excellent eBooks, audiobooks, and databases in MackinVIA.  Have your students download the MackinVIA App and download the books they can read over the winter break offline!
