Repository

New Literacy Repository

You asked, we answered! The NCDPI Office of Academic Standards and Office of Early Learning has created a repository that houses literacy resources from both offices to support stakeholders in implementation of SB387 and beyond. All the resources you need in one place! The range of resources offers users an opportunity to determine their own specific needs and find materials that suit them.  

  

This Canvas repository can be accessed with or without a Canvas account. Browse through resources to help you learn, plan, instruct, review, and inform yourself or others.  Check back periodically as each office adds more resources throughout the 22-23 SY!
