Very thankful for this event. Literacy Under the Lights, we love seeing families and schools come together to just sit, relax, and READ! We are ready for Thanksgiving break, but, seeing the joy on everyone’s face is something to truly be thankful for. @NISDCarnahan

In NYC, teachers are now writing report cards. One item on these is a Guided Reading Level. I was asked to do a correlation between the words in the books used to assign a GR Level and what was taught in the phonics program. Here is what I found. What does the GR level tell us?

Third graders in Steubenville, Ohio, are among the best little readers in the nation. For nearly 20 years, the elementary schools in this economically depressed area have produced better readers than some of the wealthiest places in the country.

Thank you to Mr. Bobby Blount @bobbyblount22 one of our NISD Board of Trustees for coming to read to our 3rd graders! They really loved the book about imagining if they built their own school! Oh and your magic trick at the end, the students were so amazed! @NISDCarnahan

[Vanessa McDonald @VOMcDonald]
