Individualized School Support Family Communication and Resources

“Oh Ya! Now I read really big chapter

books with a lot of words.”

“I learned strategies and now I can sound it out.”

“The growth in my child’s reading ability is huge. At the beginning of the year he was

not reading on his own and was not at the same level as the other kids. His teacher has

dedicated so much time to help him get on track and he

reached his goal.”“He has made so much progress since

the beginning of the year. He hated reading and really wouldn’t open a book.

Now he is reading at school and I can see a lot of progress at home. I think he really picked up some concepts and this is when I noticed his growth started to

happen."

Spring 2017 Student Reading Snapshot and and Family Impact Survey

“I have learned that struggling readers can make significant growth in just a short amount of time. It (RBG3) has

taught me as an educator how important it is to use researched

based programs for intervention along with guided reading groups to get these students reading every day.”

Spring 2017 Teacher Impact Profile and LS Impact Survey

“I believe it helped support teachers in their current literacy knowledge. It helped provide intervention materials to our site

and other sites making it equal in what was accessible to students in WCSD.

Common communication between peers at sites, between departments in our

school district, and a common goal were very impressive and will make a huge

difference in the future.”
