The PARP Toolkit

Are you planning a PARP (Pick A Reading Partner) program at your school this year?
If so, check out the
PARP Toolkit.
It has a variety of programs and activities, samples and examples of past NYS PARP winners. It’s a terrific resource!
If you are not planning a PARP program this year, take a minute to look through the
PARP Toolkit and consider planning one next year. The more time you have to plan, the easier it is to run a PARP program.
Any questions, contact your Region PARP Chair or email me at
parp@nyspta.org.
