We've taken a unique approach
to meeting state standards.
Instead of giving teachers a different standard to address with each lesson, we help teachers focus on four key skills that students practice regularly
to become better readers and writers
who can perform well on nationally normed tests.
It might sound sterile, but actually,
this approach turns out
to enable teachers and students
to pay close attention
to beautiful books,
develop ideas about them,
and share these ideas with each other.
Let us know what you think.
