Graduating Reading Mastery
We are very fortunate to be able to provide a safety net program for our students called Reading Mastery. This program is focused on phonics and blending sounds. Each morning some students in our class go out with Miss Karen and are provided small group instruction in phonics. We have found that this direct instruction approach bridges the reading gap for some children. When they make the letter-sound connection and they are reading using strategies, they are "graduated" out of the program. Our first graduate, "L." has been given her walking papers. Congratulation "L." we celebrate you and Miss Karen for your hard work and dedication to the students in the program!
