Orcas Island Elementary’s reading program is being supported by private grant money to buy a set of Chrome Books for the Title 1 classroom. This year the fourth through sixth grade title reading students have been using the “Read Naturally’s Read Live” program.

This program’s focus is on increasing fluency and accuracy in reading non-fiction selections. Students practice the selection to perfect fluency, learn new vocabulary, answer questions about the selection and write a retell paragraph.

These new Chrome Books will make it possible for the program to have more consistency and reach out to younger students as well.
