As a part of ongoing school improvement, Allen Park Elementary Instructional Aides and Literacy Coaches recently participated in two full days of professional development. The course was held at Riley and conducted by Literacy Consultants from Wayne RESA. The consultants, Colleen Whalen and Mary Lu  Stribel covered research-based reading strategies and programs that would be beneficial to students receiving reading support service from kindergarten through fifth grade. Arno, Bennie and Lindemann support teams will return to their own buildings and begin to use the strategies with their students.

WRESA Literacy Consultants share information about analyzing reading cues students use or neglect with Allen Park Instructional Aides.                       

Bennie Instructional Aides learn additional strategies to help their students become better readers.
