Great Leaps
Reading is designed to help boost the reading progress of primary
grade students as a
supplement to the teachers' ongoing reading program. Ms. Shine, a faithful Lakewood volunteer, delivers daily Great Leaps Reading lessons in a one-on-one format. Students collect points for reading goals and then trade points in for prizes. If you're interested in volunteering to work with a few students on a daily basis, this program may be a good match for you! Contact Dr. Elder for more information. |

Lakewood Elementary uses
technology to improve our students' reading ability.
These children are improving oral reading fluency by using Read Naturally. The children set reading rate goals and practice passages until they reach the goal. The teacher or trained volunteer then listen to the child read the passage and pass the student so that they may begin working on a new passage. This is another volunteer opportunity for parents, grandparents, or community members. Contact Dr. Elder for more information. |

Accelerated Reader is a software program which encourages children to independently read appropriately leveled text. Students read a selection and then take a comprehension test on the computer. Students can earn points for each book passed. |
Each teacher sets up fun literacy centers
in the classroom. Students practice reading skills they are learning
while waiting for their turn to meet with the teacher in a small group
for reading instruction. |
Sometimes they read with
a partner like these two first graders.
