A HUGE thank you to the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund

My reading group would like to send a HUGE thank you to the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund for their donation of $1835.00 for leveled guided reading books.

Reading Room

Eddyville Charter School teachers had a vision that if students could read then they would be successful in life.  Eddyville Charter School promotes reading instruction for ninety minutes each day in grades K - 8.  Students are to read nightly for twenty minutes independently or with a parent or caregiver daily.  I teach second and third grade reading; this year we adopted the Fountas & Pinnell Guided Reading System, a one-on-one comprehensive assessment to determine independent and instructional guided reading levels. With this program I am able to: 

*  Determine my students' independent & instructional reading levels.        

*  Determine reading placement levels and group students for reading instruction.

*  Select texts that will be productive for student's instruction.

*  Identify students who need intervention.

*  Document student progress across a school year and across grade levels.

*  Inform parent during conferences.    

                                            

Because I send home a letter informing parents of their child's reading level, parents are able to go to the library for appropriate leveled reading materials. 

Students demonstrate huge reading gains with this program. Research shows that for every one hundred books a student reads at their level, they should progress to the next step.

Insight

This year, Eddyville Charter School is offering a fresh online learning environment (Insight) which has class offerings as individual yet educational courses for students who want/need classes not provided at Eddyville Charter School. This program is used in most Lincoln County Schools and has an excellent success rate.

Insight provides a unique curriculum which presents students with more than 120 courses. Programs include foundational, comprehensive, elective, A.P., and vocational & skill building divisions.

Any and every class a student takes, an online instructor will be behind them 100% to give help and guidance. Also in person at Eddyville is Debby Rariden , the facilitator who is charting student success rates.

This computer curriculum originated in Lincoln County, aiming for the concept of an online charter school. Yet because of denial by the state, Insight has become a private online learning program to meet students individual education statures.

Insight is believed to become a great addition for student to benefit their futures.
