Books in the Hands of Kids Weekly + Great Teaching in the Classroom = Reading Gain
Is there a correlation between circulation statistics for our school library, great teaching in the classroom and higher reading scores? Circulation has almost doubled at West Milwaukee Intermediate School since 2007. Teachers are working hard to encourage their students to read in the classroom and in their spare time.
This year, eighth graders made a 15% Advanced/Proficient gain in reading on the WKCE, compared to their scores in the sixth grade. Seventh graders made a 14% Advanced/Proficient gain in reading on the WKCE, since they started last year in the sixth grade.
