Learning to Read

Few things are as important as being able to read. A teacher at Thrive shared a wonderful story about a grade 2 student that had a fabulous oral vocabulary but still could not read. They worked together two to three times a week using a software program that teaches through a computer game. Kids love computer games! By Halloween he had mastered his first complete word (dig) and by Christmas he could read a full sentance. After 4 months of work he completed his first level and is now on to higher skill levels. This story is an example of the power of teamwork. Our Club has donated the cost for this computer software program for 15 students at Moberley Elementary. What better investment?
