Great news! The ARI Parent and Community Outreach team has been busy updating resources.

The update and redesign will allow the team to provide multiple resources attached to each QR code representing shared folders for the following literacy categories: phonological awareness, phonics, comprehension, fluency, oral language, etc. The revised resource flier will link to the replacements for outdated resources. Please replace any previously posted resource fliers with the new and improved version.

Thank you for your hard work to provide Alabama students with great opportunities to build literacy skills during and beyond the school day. Together we are better!
