We are very proud of our students' and teachers' accomplishments in reading. We greatly appreciate the support of our Partners in Education, P.T.O., and the many volunteers, all who have contributed to our success. It is a reading instructional process in which reading skills are put into practice based on the individual child's reading abilities. At the foundation of this process is the provision of reading practice.
Students practice the reading skills taught in the classroom by reading trade books.
Teachers provide sixty minutes of reading to, with, or independently daily based on the students needs. The students progress is monitored daily by the teacher. Standards are set for each students reading practice guiding the level, the amount, and type of reading practice. Student progress is measured by the percent correct and the points earned which indicate the amount of practice by the student. We also use the S.T.A.R. reading assessment to indicate growth of reading skill level.
