In addition to Whole Group Reading students receive an additional reading block that provides learning opportunities that will best meet your child's needs.

A reading study guide will be sent home regularly and will provide parents with skills being learned and ways to practice at home!
In 2019, the state of Nebraska implemented the Nebraska Reading Law which requires the use of assessments in grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade. Students that are identified to be below the 25th percentile in reading are required to have an Individualized Reading Improvement Plan. If your child qualifies for this plan, Mrs. Keene will share the plan and decision making process with you.
