I really like your giving some thought to this topic…we all need to do the same. Not only in the days of budget cuts, but because our children need to be able to read the printed word as well as grasp the importance for an understanding of written communication.

2009 is going to be a year dedicated to all aspects of reading in Horry County Schools and our county. (this is just one of the topics we will discuss at our district meeting on Jan. 6th) I hope we can provide all sorts of experiences for our children, parents, and the community.

Technology is wonderful! I love it and understand our children must have a grasp on it’s proper utilization. I believe that a good foundation of written communications is the basic first step for any use of technology. They should not be competitors, but rather counterparts that all of us can master.

Serving the Unique Needs of 8th grade readers. She takes a cart of books to an area in the school where most of the 8th grade homerooms are during homeroom and a little before (I think) and the students can check out and return items. Some of the items on the cart could be for reading enjoyment, some for class projects, whatever. It worked for her. I have not tried it yet, but may soon because of some of the same issues you talk about.
