Irving ISD’s One District, One Book is a movement designed to get an entire school community – including parents – involved in the joy of reading. Every Irving ISD elementary school student will receive a copy of The World According to Humphrey by Betty Birney. Following a shared schedule, the families read at home together.

Each school will have different activities at different times throughout the three-week period so check with your librarian and parent liaison for more information. View video here.
