After a successful pilot of the Making Meaning reading program in 6th grade last year, 7th and 8th grade will also be using the program this year. Making Meaning is a reading program that successfully combines best practice literacy strategies while allowing differentiation for all students. Support programs such as Read 180, AMP, and Reader's Workshop enable our great teachers to use data addressing each student's needs and specifically targeting areas for growth.
What that means in plain English is that we are in a better position that ever to analyze each student's reading ability and help everyone improve.
As each strategy is introduced in Reading class, it will be reinforced in the same way in all content area classes such as Social Studies, Science, Math, and Encore. This coordination will offer students the opportunity to continue to excel. These are very exciting times.
