Schools all over North Carolina are getting money! It's coming from the state to encourage kids to read and write.

The Department of Public Instruction is making almost $5 million dollars available to school districts. Each K-3 reading teacher will get $200 to buy literacy materials.

The funds can be used for literacy instruction and parental engagement, either in the classroom or at home. Funds can be used for literacy materials including:

  • Books to send home with students to support and encourage reading over the summer
  • Books for classrooms
  • Online subscriptions for digital or downloadable books and instructional materials
  • Hands-on resources for individual students, small groups, or work-stations – especially materials to support students at risk of being reading retained
  • Equipment, instructional tools, and supplies to aid teachers in whole class, small group, or individual instruction
