Right to Read
During the 2006-2007 school year, the Right to Read tutoring program was introduced to the Limestone District School Board and has expanded to include more schools and students each year since then. This program is funded through the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat as part of their Ontario Focussed Intervention Partnership (OFIP) initiative. Right to Read is offered after school, two days per week for six weeks in many of our schools. It is designed for small groups of students in Grades 2 - 6 who would benefit from additional practice with higher level reading and thinking skills. Schools are able to target particular grade levels, depending on the needs of their students. Through Read Alouds, Shared Reading, Independent Reading and Cooperative Learning, students practice applying critical
literacy skills with direct support from the tutor. The instructional strategies and learning opportunities are meant to enhance and compliment a student's regular classroom program. In the 2009-2010 school year, approximately 400 students participated in Right to Read programs at their home schools. In the 2010-2011 school year, participating schools may choose to offer the program in either January/February or March-May. For additional information regarding the Right to Read program, please contact the school's principal.
