I tried to forward the original the first time and it didn't work. So I am pasting it in a new email- I hope this time you can read it! Thank you for your patience, and I thank you in advance for sharing your vast expertise and knowledge. Sincerely, Michelle Storts Hi Jon, I have learned so much from being on the NIFL list. This year is the first year that the school district I am in has implemented a reading intervention program. I am working from scratch with only the OhioREADS and this list as guidance. We are truly a grassroots effort, but one that I believe in. We use one-on-one tutoring to help our most at-risk readers right not, but I am putting together a proposal as to why the district needs to expand the intervention into the family environment. I am looking for any research, or statistics, that I could include in my program proposal to the school board and superintendent. Although they support what I am doing now, they have no financial obligations as the only stipend I get is through the state. Any supplies or necessaries have been met by a very supportive elementary principal, the generosity of strangers, or out of my own pocket. I am hoping that this program proposal puts everything into perspective, why funds are necessary, and why multi-generational reading intervention is so very necessary. I appreciate any information you can share with me, and if you arewanting to know more about our program you can visit our website at http://members.tripod.com/~berneunionreads/homepage.html Thank you so much, Michelle Storts, Program Coordinator BerneUnionREADS Berne Union Elementary berneunionreads@ameritech.net "If you teach children to read, they will read for a day, if you teach children to love to read, they will read for a lifetime!"
