Reach for Reading
Reach for Reading is a research-based, rigorous, and enriching curriculum with a bounty of resources to support students as they learn to read and navigate the English language. It fits beautifully with many programs and resources supported by the district, such as DLE and CORE reading.

Intro & Frequently Asked Questions
Watch this video for a brief overview of how to navigate the MyNGConnect online resource.
How do I get an account on myNGconnect?
Accounts are now generated automatically for those who have at least one elementary reading class set up in Powerschool. If you have a class in Powerschool but are unable to log in, please contact audra_lopez@lksd.org to troubleshoot the problem.
How do I sign into my myNGconnect account?
You can now sign in through Classlink by going to https://launchpad.classlink.com/lksd and signing in with your LKSD Gmail address. Once you are signed in, all you need to do is click on the myNGconnect icon.
*NOTE* You can no longer sign in by going directly to myngconnect.com.
How do I add students to a class on myNGconnect?
Students are now enrolled automatically, every night at midnight. If you get a new/transferred student, they should appear in your class the day after they are added to your roster on Powerschool. If your student does not appear in your class, please contact audra_lopez@lksd.org to troubleshoot the problem.
Is there a specific schedule I should be using to teach Reach for Reading?
The district has provided sample schedules for every grade level. These can be found in the curriculum map files on Google Drive. You are not required to use these schedules, but they can be a useful guide for creating a schedule that works for your class.
There is also a lesson-planning tool available on myNGconnect. This tool allows for lessons to be adjusted based on the length of your class period.
