Welcome to PARC
Welcome to our website. It is our hope that this site will provide resources and tools for building or enhancing your love for reading. Let us know how we can make this site better.

The Placer Area Reading Council (PARC) is a professional organization affiliated with the California Reading Association (CRA) and the International Reading Council
(IRA). We are composed of teachers, administrators, parents, librarians, paraprofessionals, students, and others interested in promoting literacy.

Our Mission

PARC seeks to foster the love of reading, and improve the teaching and writing at all educational levels by providing informative meetings and in-services; recognizing the efforts of local educators, students, and community

members; and promoting mutual understanding and cooperative efforts
among teachers, administrators, parents, and the community.
