The Somerset Foundation approved a grant of $4,800 toward the purchase of literacy materials for children at Somerset in grades 3-5 who need extra reading support. The “Leveled Literacy Intervention System” has already been in use for grades K-2, and has proven to be enormously successful in raising the reading scores of struggling readers, as well as those still learning English. Expanding this system to the upper grades will give teachers a powerful and proven tool to improve reading scores, vocabulary, and comprehension skills. Thank you to our donors who allow us to make this grant and others like it.
