Boulder City Reads
"Boulder City Reads" page on Facebook promotes reading and literacy. It is also a way to get the community involved in helping with donations of new or gently used books to "hide" in the parks and around the community for students to find and read. If you would like to be part of this, please visit the page by clicking on the Facebook Icon. Happy Reading!!
Hello Mitchell Families-
Looking for extra opportunities to read with your child is always fun and beneficial. Reading their library and personal books with them is a great place to start.
Students can log into their school Clever accounts and work on Lexia as well.

Assembly Bill 289
Nevada’s Ready by Grade 3 (RBG3) Act provides noncompetitive grants across the state, utilizing a weighted funding formula. The primary intent is to support school-based efforts to ensure that all students are proficient readers by the end of third grade. Total recommended funding for this program is $31.7 million in each year of the 2019-21 biennium, representing a 54.5% increase from the prior biennium. This ensures that all elementary schools will have an assigned literacy specialist to work with the school administrator and teachers, serve as a resource for professional development, and build master reading teachers to improve student reading achievement. In addition to funding literacy specialists and school-based professional development, RBG3 requires each LEA to:
• Develop a plan to improve literacy in elementary schools;
• Participate in statewide professional development for literacy specialists and elementary reading teachers;
• Implement intervention services and intensive instruction for students reading below grade level; and
• Monitor the reading growth of students receiving intervention services and intensive instruction.
