Northport Students Hone Their Reading Skills This Summer

Students entering grades K-9 are improving their reading skills through the district’s Summer Reading Program, held at Pulaski Road Elementary School from July 11 through Aug. 11.

The program enables more than 200 students to advance their reading abilities by setting obtainable goals, based on their reading levels, through various activities. Summer reading teachers evaluate the performance, growth and development of each student and collect data for their upcoming teachers to use.

During the program’s two-hour sessions, students participate in small guided reading groups, multisensory centers and individualized learning plans utilizing Compass Learning Odyssey.
