Welcome to this project-based after school reading program for students who may want more exposure to reading. Reading is the gateway skill to all learning and it is important that children love to read. The "magic" in this program gives the children the opportunity to learn strategies in reading like decoding, comprehension, literary elements, fluency, key details, author's purpose and much more. Students will be taught a strategy and then have to produce something that shows understanding. Dr. Mary S. Florek is a Gifted Specialist in the Catalina Foothills School District. She has her master's in reading and her doctorate in curriculum and instruction. She is currently teaching grades 3-4-5 at Sunrise Drive and Canyon View Elementary. She loves both children and reading!
