Learning begins in the home. You are your child’s first and most important teacher and reading with your child is a proven way to promote early literacy. Helping to make sure your child is reading on grade level by the end of third grade is one of the most important things you can do to prepare him/her for the future. To help reinforce the learning taking place within our elementary schools, we have put together this Read-At-Home Plan to support you, as your child’s first teacher. Reading with your child for at least 20 minutes a day and using a few simple strategies from our Read-At-Home Plan can make a positive impact on your child’s success in school.  Get started with the Bradford County Read-At-Home Plan now.

A read-at-home plan is required to be provided to parents of any K-3 student who has been identified with a substantial deficiency in reading. The Florida Department of Education has compiled resources that each school district must include into a read-at-home plan provided to the parent of a student who is identified as having a substantial reading deficiency. A read-at-home plan includes  information and resources connected to the essential components of reading: oral language, phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. These resources are available in an electronic format that is accessible online, and a hardcopy of such resources must be provided by the school upon parent request. Access these resources now at FLDOE Read-At-Home Plan
