October 9

All Primary children at Gibsons Elementary are now in Guided Reading groups.

This means that the children in each class are in small groups for one half hour of concentrated reading lessons Monday to Thursday. Division 11 children are in lessons led by Mrs. Hourigan, Mrs. Carsky, Mrs. Tattrie, and me. Mrs. Hourigan is trained in Reading Recovery, the leading method of teaching children with reading problems -- this method also works wonderfully with other children. Mrs. Carsky is our Primary Special Education teacher. Mrs. Tattrie has been trained specifically to take children through these Guided Reading lessons. One of my specialties is early reading. So every child is with someone with specific qualifications in leading reading groups.

When we use these small groupings, we ensure that your child receives personal attention. This is just one way that Gibsons Elementary meets its goal of reading success for all students. You can be proud of the work our Primary Team has done and continues to do in making sure that all children get the greatest possible benefit from their time at school.
