Congratulations to Khloe, our June Star of the Month and the last star for the 2024-2025 school year! Khloe is a second grader at Pittsburgh Lincoln School in Pittsburgh, PA, who has made amazing growth using Read Naturally this year. Here is what her teacher, Ms. Shirey, wrote about her:
Khloe began second grade full of enthusiasm and ready to learn. She repeated first grade to give her a bit of a boost since she was struggling with reading. Our students are tested using the DIBELS assessment. Khloe began reading 51 words per minute in the fall, which was below benchmark. In the winter, Khloe read 56 words per minute which again was below benchmark but showed growth. The reading coach and I decided she needed more support with fluency and she began the Read Naturally program for intervention in February. Khloe grew to reading 89 words per minute by the spring benchmark. She made it and grew 33 words! Khloe bursts with confidence now and enjoys reading out loud and reading for pleasure. Khloe loves the stories in the programs. Her favorite story is "Calling All Citizens" and she enjoyed learning about how Ida Lewis rescued four men in her biography. Khloe would definitely recommend Read Naturally to her classmates and gives the program a two thumbs up!
Amazing progress, Khloe! Keep up the great work!
