Williams Township Elementary is a Reading First School :)
Mrs. Kim Edwards is our Reading Coach.
Our core program is Houghton Mifflin.
We are using Waterford Early Reading System as a supplemental program.
The T.P.R.I. and I.T.B.S. are used as assessment tools to guide instruction.
Each child has at least 90 minutes of explicit Reading instruction everyday!
We are using the Voyager Reading Academy for staff development.
The "Aggie" team continues to give our children the best! The readers of
today are the leaders of tomorrow!!!

Check out this Groundbreaking Children's Book! Poetry Speaks To Children
Parents, educators, librarians, and poetry enthusiasts have wondered for
years how to get children really interested in poetry. Until now, there
hasn't been a collection of poems and poets that spoke directly to that
elusive audience. Poetry Speaks to Children cracks through that barrier by
packaging the best poems by the best authors along with a CD-making the
engrossing and often mischievous verses come alive in the voices of many of
the creators.
Poetry Speaks to Children reaches into the world of poetry and pulls out the
elements children love: rhyme, rhythm, fun and, every once in a while, a
little mischief.
More than 90 poems, for children ages six and up, celebrate the written word
and feature a star-studded lineup of beloved poets, including: Roald Dahl;
J.
R. R. Tolkien; Robert Frost; Gwendolyn Brooks; Ogden Nash; John Ciardi;
Langston Hughes; Sonia Sanchez; Seamus Heaney; Canada's best-loved
children's
poet, Dennis Lee; Rita Dove; Billy Collins; Nikki Giovanni and X. J. Kennedy.
On the accompanying CD, 52 of the poems are brought to life-most read by the
poets themselves-allow the reader to hear the words as the poets intended.
