🎓 College Application Day at Plainview High Collegiate! 🎓 On Friday, our seniors took a major step towards their futures by participating in College Application Day! 📝🎉 We’re so proud of our students as they work hard to achieve their dreams and explore college opportunities.

📖 The Power of Read Alouds: Why We Use Them at PISD! At PISD, our teachers use Read Alouds to help students develop important literacy skills. When teachers read aloud in class, they: ✨ Model fluent reading ✨ Build vocabulary and language skills ✨ Improve listening comprehension ✨ Spark imagination and creativity But the benefits don’t stop in the classroom! Reading aloud at home—even just 10-15 minutes a day—can have a huge impact on your child’s literacy growth. Let them choose the book and enjoy the time together as they explore new stories and ideas! 🧠📚 Looking for great Read Alouds in English and Spanish? Check out this link: https://www.scholastic.com/parents/home.html Together, we can help children develop a lifelong love for reading. 💖 #PlainviewISD #PlainviewBulldogs #PlainviewSchools

📚 Hey PISD Parents! Did you know about the Daily 5? At PISD, we use the Daily 5 literacy framework in our Elementary Schools to help our students build strong reading and writing skills! The Daily 5 includes: ✨ Read Alouds ✨ Guided Reading ✨ Shared Reading ✨ Word Work ✨ Independent Reading & Writing Here’s how these strategies help your child and how you can support them at home—no homework needed! 📖 Read Alouds: We model fluent reading and build vocabulary. At home, read together for 10 minutes a day! Let your child pick the book and ask them to guess what happens next—it boosts comprehension and imagination! 📚 Guided Reading: We guide students at their level to improve skills. You can encourage your child to read their favorite book aloud to you or a sibling, helping them sound out tricky words and praising their efforts! 🔤 Word Work: This helps students recognize letter patterns and spelling. Try a “Word of the Day” at home—make it fun by using the word in sentences together to build vocabulary! ✍️ Independent Reading & Writing: Students practice reading and writing independently to build focus and creativity. Set up a cozy reading nook at home or encourage your child to write short stories or draw pictures to spark their imagination! By working together, we can foster a lifelong love of literacy! 💖 #PlainviewISD #PlainviewTexas #TBW #PlainviewEducation
