Improving literacy
|
|
Incline Elementary School recently made it a requirement for all
students Kindergarten through 5th grade to be taught Spanish, so
every child comes out of the school with a basic knowledge of how
to speak the language.
Efforts to improve literacy are also underway with the introduction
of its reading intervention program. At the end of the first-grade
students are tested to determine whether they're behind in their
reading skills. When students identified as having reading
difficulties enter the second grade, they are immediately assigned
to a tutor, who is either a volunteer or teacher, and works either
one-on-one or in small groups of students every school day for 16
weeks to bring them up to speed.

Literacy has also been stressed at Incline middle and high schools.
The schedule has been modified to add a basic reading class for
students who are more challenged in their reading skills The school
has also applied for a grant to hire a reading specialist.
At Incline High School, changes in both how they present and what
they present in the English curriculum are underway. The Incline
Village K-16 Council and the educational scholar it hired have been
assisting the school's language issue.

Keeping pace with the modern age, one Incline High School teacher has
started doing all of his presentations on Microsoft Power Point
presenting information using a computer on a large screen.

At Incline Middle School there's a technology center where students can
learn how to program a robot, build carbon dioxide-powered cars and
produce a radio show.
