I'm in Renton. I'd like to look at the book you refereced. Is Amazon the best place to search or on the publisher's website? THANKS! The book that some of us in my school district read is Annual Growth, Catch-Up Growth by Lynn Fielding, Nancy Kerr, and Paul Rosier (2007). It is the story of how the Kennewick, Washington school district met their district goal of getting 90% of their students to grade level by the end of third grade. The book outlines a mathematical model for figuring how much instructional time is needed to get a child that is reading three years below grade level to reading at grade level. The book is a pretty interesting read, although many people on this list serve will disagree with its premise. The district also has a program that services the city's preschool population that helps better prepare those children for kindergarten. The district gives the NWEA MAP test and focuses on reading, math, and writing. That is their priority. As you read their story, compare their cut score for proficiency to your district's cut score. You can also Google Kennewick, Washington School district and find out more information. That will help you a lot with your research. I also have some power point presentations from the district that I can email you privately if you would like.
