I think Allington really makes a great case for thinking out of the box- in
this case the school day. Maybe extra instruction is better suited to before
or after school programs or summer school or a Saturday a.m. Just for Fun
program. Our schools have had free breakfast and lunch programs
What great ideas! I'm wondering if you've thought of using labels instead of
