Sustained Silent Reading to Begin at TRHS on Tuesday
(1/14/2012 / TRHS Webmaster)
On Jan. 17, 2012, Travelers Rest High School, in its multifaceted approach to supporting the literacy development of our students, will incorporate Sustained Silent Reading into its academic schedule.
Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) is designed to support habits and skills of literacy by increasing student engagement in reading. In this program, students will engage in sustained reading at the same designated time every day. Teachers will model reading by participating in this activity with the students.
Students will read approximately 15 minutes every day during their second period class and are guided and encouraged to select books that are within their lexile range.
The possible gains from this program include but are not limited to improved skills in the following areas: vocabulary development, reading comprehension, reading fluency, general knowledge, and reading engagement.
The school bell schedule has been revised to support the incorporation of this program school-wide and can be seen here.
