A Compact for Reading and School-Home Links

A Compact for Reading is a written agreement among families, teachers, principals, and students to work together to improve the reading skills of kindergarten through third grade students. The guide helps individuals set reading goals. The School-Home Links (SHL) Reading Kits are a collection of research-based activities designed to help families reinforce the reading and language arts skills that their children are learning at school. Developed by the U.S. Department of Education.
