Reading News

It was a “rush” to see the enthusiasm associated with our district’s emphasis on reading in Wednesday’s elementary in-service. This does not exist in all districts.

Federal reading first dollars have been used to evaluate many products who say they meet the “scientific research-based” criteria. Those evaluations are available to the general public from an University of Oregon website. As we become more adept at identifying specific problem areas, these resources will be useful in making instructional decisions.

While working with a student teacher, Stephanie Schaffer (Webster) compiled a resource book for reading. This book has been distributed to all elementary and is organized for additions over time. We thank you Stephanie for your efforts.
