Building literacy from the beginning

While our upper grade students have been focusing on preparing for STAAR, our younger cougars have been working on building fluency and comprehension skills. Whether it is through comprehension of story elements, choral reading, or literacy stations, they are gearing themselves up for next year. Keep up the hard work, Cougars!
