As a third grade teacher, it has always amazed me that students come to me not knowing how to read. Why is that? This year our district put a lot of money and emphasis on improving reading instruction for these students. New programs were purchased and teachers received thorough training. The results are fabulous~students are actually reading! And enjoying it!!!!!!!<br /><b>This post is part of the <a href="http://mat.usc.edu/">MAT@USC: Masters in Teaching</a> Hope for the holidays event.
