E-Reading Opportunities

 

EVERY CHILD READS FREE!

Before your students head home for winter break, make sure they know about our free PopUp Library! Every child—whether or not your school or library currently subscribes to the StarWalk Kids Media collection of quality eBooks—can use our eBooks for free from December 21 through January 5.

We know that lots of families will be buying tablets, smartphones and computers as holiday gifts. So what better time to encourage kids to try our great eBooks? And, it keeps them reading during the school break!

Starting on Saturday, December 21, kids can visit: StarWalkKids.com/PopUp
and enjoy as many free eBooks as they want through January 5

Celebrate Reading This Holiday with TCEA Partner myON

TCEA and myON are partnering to bring an exciting opportunity that will allow your students and even your own children to access over 4,000 engaging digital books on computers, tablets, and other devices, wherever they are over the holiday break - free of charge.

Through this special holiday offer, students will be able to choose from a collection of thousands of high-interest digital books from myON, a business unit of Capstone - the leading publisher of school library texts --  in a variety of genres and formats. Readers of all levels will be able to enjoy these digital books independently or they may activate naturally-recorded audio and text highlighting to support their reading. An embedded dictionary provides help with pronunciation and definitions for words they may not know. Free mobile apps enable your students to download books on their mobile devices for offline reading, as well.

 

Encourage your students to read independently or enjoy the gift of reading together as a family during the winter break by reading on  myON!

 

Here's how to access myON books: 

• Go online to www.myon.com.
• Click the Log In Now button and enter TCEA, TX District as the School Name. (Begin typing the first few letters and select from the drop-down menu.)
• Enter the user name of "read" and the password of "read".

Click on submit, select a book, and start reading!

A special thank you to all of our library volunteers that give many hours each and every week to help SSE by helping students find and checkout books, shelving books, and keeping the library in top shape!  I appreciate all you do and your dedication to our school!

Pay-it-Forward

Wow!  The Specials team asked for contributions from our SSE family to pay-it-forward to the residents of the Carriage Inn in Katy and recieved so many needed items.  The residents that live there will be so excited to get a special holiday suprise box filled with socks, toothpaste, toothbrushes, candy, and other fun items.  Thank  you for helping bless others at this special time of year!  The Specials team will be delivering these boxes this Thursday.
