Lead Out Loud.

When we read together and read out loud, we develop better readers and stronger leaders.

P.S. 165
Literacy Hub

This site serves as a resource to help our families, the school community and our neighborhood read together, read aloud and build our students into the next generation of leaders.

May Book Distribution

Thanks to the ongoing collaboration between P.S. 165's Title I Reps and the Culture Committee, each student will be receiving 2 grade-level appropriate books.

Below you’ll find read alouds, more information about the authors and resources to help your family read and enjoy together.

 

In-person students will receive their books in their backpacks on May 19.

 

Remote families may pick up books Wednesday, May 19th or Friday, May 21st from 1:45pm-2:45pm outside in the large playground.

Windows & Mirrors Explained 

See the author of this idea, Rudine Sims Bishop, explain this in her own words.
