Today, each student should be on or beyond Step 60. Please remember that your child should be reading 2 steps each night (30 minutes). On the week end, each student should read an additional step. We are quickly approaching our 100 Step Celebration. We will have guest readers who will read to our students on our very own trails. Thanks for your continued support of your child’s reading. .
