Advanced Reading Initiative Featured in Scholastic DVD

As summer kicks into high gear, dozens of educators and students from across Idaho came together in an unlikely place — the classroom. They participated in the Advanced Reading Initiative, a progressive educational program administered by the Boise State Writing Project (BSWP). During the week, they were the subjects of an instructional DVD being shot during clinics at Fairmont Junior High School by Scholastic, a major American publisher and distributor of children’s materials. To read more about it, read the article!

Have you read a good educational article or book lately? Add it to the NRI/NWP wiki here
Developed through the National Reading Initiative, this electronic binder is a tool that helps record how we use readings to inquire into, understand, and discuss reading comprehension and various aspects of literacy and literacy education that relate to reading comprehension. This wiki will offer you the chance to see what and how teacher-consultants and sites have read around this topic, to add to the record, and to think about using such a resource in other areas of work at our site.
