This holds true for Delaware Valley. During the 11th grade reading PSSA, 142 current senior students' scored under proficient. What will we do about this problem? Do we have the tools in place for our students' performance to improve? We have great teachers! What I feel we need is a reading program in the 9th through 12th grade. This will better prepare our students and give our teachers the proper materials to achieve this goal. I have been looking into the Reading 180 reading program which Pam Lutfy mentioned at the last work session. I would like the administrators to look at the Reading 180 and other reading programs at the high school level.
In a few days Pam and I will be attending the PSBA legislative conference in Harrisburg. We will be asking questions about this problem and looking into ways we may be able to solve this problem. We will bring back all the information to share with you at the next school board meeting. If you have questions and concerns please write back on this blog. I have listed a few web-sites for you to look up the latest information on some of these issues. Please let me know what you think!!!!
Sincerely,
Susan Schor
School Board Director
