Act 2025-268 provides supplemental allocations to districts for FY 2026. Summer and after-school program allocation amounts were sent to superintendents in the August 5, 2025 memo. These funds can be used to pay the expenses associated with summer and after-school programs for grades K-12, including summer reading and math camps for K-5 students. In previous years, districts received funds specifically for summer reading and math camps. For summer 2026, districts can use these supplemental allocations in conjunction with other funding streams (ASAP grant, local funds, title funds, etc.) to provide quality programs for students.

A separate memo will be sent in early fall with allocations provided through the Education Trust Fund budget. This includes allocations specifically for summer camps for full-support schools. It also will contain additional funding for before- and after-school tutoring.

The ALSDE Office of Extended Learning offers thought-partnering opportunities, half-day and full-day professional learning sessions, and individual district coaching. Contact Jeff Norris, OXL Education Specialist, at with specific questions or requests. In addition, guidance for summer and before/after-school learning, training materials, and podcasts featuring innovative ideas are available at the OXL site: https://oxl.alsde.edu

Show a picture and ask students to do the following with the picture:

Now, compare this picture with another similar picture. Have students describe how they are alike and different.
Odd One Out:
Show a variety of grouped objects or pictures. Then, ask the student to describe which object or picture is out and why.

For example, you may show the student pictures of a shrimp, a fish, and a crab. The student may say, "The fish is out because it does not have legs like the shrimp and crab. The shrimp and crab have a hard shell and the fish does not." The student may also describe other attributes that are alike and different, such as size, color, shape, etc.

Most commonly taught sounds for letters 

# data[].attributes.body
This video is a quick review of how to pronounce sounds when teaching reading. When children are learning to read, they need to blend sounds as they decode. Teachers need to ensure that the sounds they are modeling are sounds that can be blended. Some of the most commonly taught sounds for letters can actually make reading harder for beginners. http://education.ufl.edu/ufli/
