Good News: Lakeridge does well on reading proficiency tests
October 5th, 2009 at Mon, 5th, 2009 at 11:42 am by Celeste GraceyThis one is from Randy Matheson, at the Renton School District. Sounds like a great start for the district:
Eighty-four percent of Lakeridge Elementary School first-graders exceeded standards on beginning-of-the-year reading proficiency testing. The students took part in the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBLES) testing which helps establish a student’s oral fluency level and measures his/her accuracy of reading at the beginning, middle and end of the year at each grade level.
