We can read!

It is hard to believe that our 2009-10 school year is drawing to an end. This year I had the privilege of working with students in 1-3rd grade who needed additional reading support besides their classroom instruction using a research based reading intervention program called My Sidewalks, five days a week. My Sidewalks provided instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension skills and strategies. Not only were theses skills strengthen but I was able to witness my students relax, gain confidence and believe that they can read as they learned to apply themselves and practiced reading daily. This summer students were charged to read daily to improve their reading fluency and meet their reading speed goal for their specific grade.
