• Missouri's Comprehensive Literacy Plan

During the first year of LNW, teachers received a copy of Teaching for Deep Comprehension: A Reading Workshop Approach by Linda Dorn & Carla Soffos.  New teachers will receive a copy of the book at the beginning of the school year.  If you do not receive a copy of the book, please contact Debby Money or Angie McGuirk and we will get you a copy.
