STRIVE at Perry Elementary

Third grade students at Perry Elementary's PrimeTime program participate in Student Targeted Reading Intervention Via Extended Learning (STRIVE ) with third grade teacher, Ms. Mickles. The third grade teachers at Perry Elementary recently participated in Student Centered Coaching Cycles where lessons are designed with targeted reading strategies to improve student reading achievement. The students in Ms. Mickles' STRIVE program are reading two non-fiction articles, then writing a compare/contrast essay by locating the main idea in each article, comparing the similarities and contrasting the differences while highlighting textual evidence. This integrated approach is a collaboration with Extended Learning Opportunities PrimeTime program and Office of Leadership and Learning.
