Quad-peat! Yes, we have done it again. For the fourth straight year Immaculata High School, Leavenworth, Kansas, has achieved the Kansas State Standard of Excellence in Reading. What an achievement! We have tried many different avenues to help our students become better readers. About ten years ago we installed a 15-minute reading period into our schedule on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. During the period we do nothing but read. And for the third straight year one of the materials read is USA TODAY. The students, faculty and staff love to read it. And obviously it has helped us reach our Standards of Excellence. Thanks to all of you at USA TODAY for helping us reach our goal.
Sincerely,
Greg Hohensinner, Silent Sustained Reading Coordinator
