Durham Public Library's Educate Station resource now includes Reading Railway, a collection of printable books for beginning readers. The library announced the addition Tuesday, Nov. 10, describing materials that help children move from letter sounds toward independent reading.
The collection includes four reading levels, stories designed for phonics practice, parent teaching guides and phonics-based worksheets. Children can assemble, color and keep the print-friendly books, according to the library.
Reading Railway joins Educate Station's existing pre-K through fifth-grade learning plans, worksheets and activities. Subjects include English language arts, math, science, social studies and social-emotional learning. The library lists homeschooling, extra practice and substitute teacher lesson plans among the resource's uses.
Access is free inside the library, with no card or account needed. Families can also access Educate Station from home using a Durham library card.
