Reading

-Although we score well in reading as an overall group, some subgroups (SPED, Hispanic/Latino, FRL) were not near benchmark levels. How will guided reading groups help improve the reading levels of these subgroups?

By matching similar leveled reading abilities students are more engaged and reading at a functional level. As specialist we would benefit from the sharing of these reading groups as identified by level, so we can better match students with appropriate resources and as well as when we are parterning or creating small groups within classes. -- Specialist PLT (J Viau, C Cannon, J Owens, J Bryant, S Reid J Baas)
