Hello!
Just a few years back, we, in our school, had a hardcover book for Reading. Back then, we liked it. And in fact it was useful but our students´ need grew so the school administration gave the green light to improve our textbooks. It was decided that every year a new textbook was going to be implemented. The first year, it was the turn for Reading. This year it´s for math.
I want to talk about Reading Street by Pearson, the book we´re presently using. This is the first year we have had it. Let me tell you that is wonderful. I mean, it covers not only reading but other subjects as well. Subject such as science and social studies. All the teachers grades k- 6 are very happy to have chosen this textbook.
Today we´ll have a Pearson Trainer come over to our school and teach us how to use Reading Street in the internet. We are looking forward to introducing Reading Street online to the school community and I am sure we´ll soon be reaping success by means of this new way of studying Reading and Language Arts.http://pearsonschool.com/index.cfm?locator=PSZ16e&PMDbSiteId=2781&PMDbSolutionId=6724&PMDbSubSolutionId=&PMDbCategoryId=3289&PMDbSubCategoryId=&PMDbSubjectAreaId=&PMDbProgramId=69481
Hi Jerry
ReplyDeletePublishers often are very active in supporting their products these days. I think it is amazing they are sponsoring a training. Very nice for you and your campus. Are you using any technology with this series, I wonder? Anything on the web for support?

As a matter of fact, We´ll have a fund rasing activity in may to buy data shows (projectors) in order to have one in every classroom so we can conect our laptop computer and show the kids many possiblities from the internet.
ReplyDeletePearson gave us access to their online books so we can (when desired) use it as a change of scenary.
When we get the data shows, we´ll do wonders. I´m looking forward to it.
