of the Accelerated Reading Program. The development of active
listening skills will be emphasized for the K to 2 students, basic
library skills will be taught to the third and fourth grades while
the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades will be enrolled in
the reading Accelerated Program. In the last trimester of the
fourth grade, they will be introduced to the AR Program.
Special Events:
- A Parent Reading Program will be implemented in a First Grade
class. Groups of four students each will be assigned a parent
reader every week. A story will be read to each group after
which each student in the group will be encouraged to respond
to the story to gauge what his response to what he heard is.
The responses will be noted and will be used to evaluate the
appropriateness of the library's collection for this grade level.

to read their favorite story, poem or other form of literature
to all grade levels. Authors and illustrators have been key
note speakers at the gathering assembly.
