Horizons DC White Paper
This past Summer we did a pilot with Horizons of Greater Washington. Horizons partners an independent school with a low-income public school and provides a six week summer enrichment program. In Ms. Orlando's rising second grade class, Tales2Go was added to her literacy rotation. During the 90 minute reading period, the children received a whole-group mini lesson based on CAFE lessons and then rotated through three stations: guided reading (20 mins), Tales2Go (20 mins) and a hands-on phonics activity (20 mins). In just 6 weeks, the students' raised their STAR Reading Assessment scores. Please feel free to read and share this really thoughtful white paper from Katherine Orlando; in her words, "my literacy goal was achieved over the summer in large part due to Tales2Go"
