Welcome!
We're glad you're here! I'm Carrie Begley and I am one of the literacy interventionists for grade K-4 at Durham Community School. I have been teaching for 23 years and I have a Master's degree in Literacy. I developed this website to be a rich resource for parents as we help children to develop the skills to make them life-long readers! This is a work in progress - please reach out if there are resources you'd like to see added.

The Impact of At Home Reading
The Impact of At Home Reading
An analysis comparing the engaged reading time and reading scores of more than 2.2 million students found that students who read less than five minutes per day saw the lowest levels of growth, well below the national average.2 Even students who read 5–14 minutes per day saw sluggish gains that were below the national average.
Only students who read 15 minutes or more a day saw accelerated reading gains—that is, gains higher than the national average—and students who read just over a half-hour to an hour per day saw the greatest gains of all.
