Read to Succeed: Early Literacy Initiative
Natomas Unified has launched the Read to Succeed Early Learners Literacy initiative, focusing on enhancing literacy skills for our youngest learners. While at school, there will be a focus on the following areas:
- Science of reading
- Foundational reading skills
- Common early literacy assessments
- Early literacy resources for classrooms and homes
- In-class coaching for teachers
- Professional development for teachers and administrators
We invite our families to partner with us by incorporating reading time at home and activities to make reading fun and engaging!

Reading Buddies
This Reading Buddies event is part of Natomas Unified School District’s Read to Succeed Early Literacy Initiative, which supports early reading skills and fosters positive student connections across grade levels.
Excitement filled the Heron School Library as Inderkum High School athletes teamed up with kindergarteners for a fun morning of reading together. A big thank you to Inderkum’s Athletes Committed Club for volunteering their time to inspire a love of reading in our youngest scholars!
High school students from the Student Voices Advisory Council (SVAC) spent time reading to some of our younger scholars as part of NUSD’s Read to Succeed Initiative.
Thank you to the students and staff of American Lakes, Bannon Creek, and Jefferson for collaborating to make this “Reading Buddies” event a success!
SVAC is made up of high school representatives from Leroy Greene Academy, Natomas High School, and Inderkum High School.
NUSD Launches Region’s First Reading Corps Partnership
Natomas Unified is proud to announce a new partnership with Reading Corps, an AmeriCorps high-impact tutoring program. This collaboration marks the first of its kind in the Sacramento region, bringing specialized support directly to classrooms at H. Allen Hight, Bannon Creek School, Natomas Park Elementary and American Lakes School.
Reading Corps tutors work with our students one-on-one or in pairs to help them strengthen their reading skills. Meeting 20 minutes daily, students receive the consistent, evidence-based intervention they need to thrive.
NUSD is committed to exploring innovative ways to support student achievement, and we are excited to see the growth our students will achieve through this landmark partnership.
