Hello Hilburn Academy students and families!
Welcome to the Literacy Support Google Site. I hope you will find the information helpful.
What will your student be learning in Language Arts and how can you support? Please take a look! I have created a separate page for each grade level. I am still in the process of adding the most up-to-date resources.
Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have ANY questions about your student's education, need specific resources or just need clarification. I am available throughout the summer break and it would be my pleasure to support your student's summer learning. Look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Rida Iyoob
Literacy Coach/Intervention Team Facilitator K-8
