Dr. Davis-Leite noted that the Utah and Provo City School District are focusing on reading importance this year, following the passage of Senate Bill 241, which increases accountability for student reading growth. The district recently emailed reading benchmark assessment results to parents, which can be accessed using a student's five-digit lunch number as a password. Additionally, the school highlighted the Sora digital reading resource and encouraged the use of Digital Box Tops and Smith's Inspiring Donations to support school funding.
For questions regarding digital reading resources, individuals may email Olivia at oliviac@provo.edu.
