At our school, we have a few Reading
Cops students who have had attendance issues in the past. However, after
enrolling these students in Reading Corps, we have seen fewer problems with
attendance. At the end of March, we were excited to let one of these students
know that she had improved her literacy skills enough to exit from the Reading
Corps program. Having one-on-one tutoring has been great for this student
because she has had another responsible adult at school to look to for support.
When we told this student that she had met her goal to exit Reading Corps, her
response was, “I don’t want to stop coming to read with you, Ms.
Jorgenson!”
After speaking with my Internal
Coach, we have decided that I will occasionally meet with this student
throughout the week during open times when I cannot meet with another student
for Reading Corps tutoring. This will give me the opportunity to provide
guidance to this student throughout the rest of the school year, in hopes that
her attendance will continue to improve.
