Morphology and orthography training are complete. We had a blast breaking down words, learning Latin, Greek, and AngloSaxon meanings, as well as strategies to close reading gaps. LAS are made for excellence! @dallasschools @pamelalearlead @DISDOSI

Reflecting on an incredible African American Read-In event.

Library Services has enjoyed being part of this meaningful event year after year — from curating the book selections to placing five powerful books directly into the hands of our Dallas ISD students.

While our team focused on distribution and student choice, this short video highlights the literacy, empowerment, and joy unfolding all around us.

Library Services is proud to support an event that leaves a lasting impact. Thank you to the Department of School Improvement and everyone who helped make this event so impactful for Dallas ISD students.
