First grade teachers have an enormous impact on the lives of children. When you teach children to read, you change their lives forever. Statistics show that 80% of children who are not reading on grade level by the end of first grade, will not be reading on grade level by third grade. Our goal is to help every student read on grade level or higher by the end of the first grade. Reading is central and provides the foundation for future success!!
