We have begun work in our READ 180 Lab. We still have some room set-up work to be done, but students began taking the Scholastic Reading Inventory today and will finish tomorrow. The results of this inventory will be used to measure growth over time, as well as provide students with a Lexile level which will help them in selecting books. More news will come later.
