During the month of February Rydal Elementary School made literacy a significant part of Black History Month by hosting an African American Read-In. Students in grades 4-6 read books by African American authors to students in grades kindergarten to grade 3. Toward the end of the month and program, sixth graders read to kindergarteners at Rydal West. Other grades participated in the event throughout last week.
This event is hosted by the Black Caucus of NCTE and NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English).
