Data from the 20-21 school year showed that 55% of our Kindergarteners achieved grade level reading goal (level D) for the year. After seeing this data and partnering with Jennifer Burns, our goal is to implement the interactive shared reading experience along with Literacy Footprints to work towards achieving higher literacy levels collectively. We will use our guided reading levels to determine the percentage of students who reached the end of year Kindergarten goal.

As a Kindergarten team we are meeting with Jennifer Burns once a month to continue to develop our shared reading experience. We are also individually meeting with her twice a semester to discuss our individual needs. Erin Klopstad is another resource we can utilize when needed to co-teach, collaborate, model, or discuss questions or areas of concern. We are using ESGI as an initial testing tool to gather a baseline for where our students are starting their reading journey. Having and utilizing these resources will help us reach our goal of 70% of Kindergarten students reading at a level D by the end of their Kindergarten year.
