I am one of two teachers piloting Xtreme Reading in my district this year. I learned a lot over the five days of professional development in the program in North Carolina and on site in Culpeper, Va. The last two days, in particular, were personalized to our needs, experience levels, students, and setting. We had the opportunity to learn new strategies, work with the manuals and daily schedules, observe and participate in a model, share celebrations, and work through challenges. Pam was very systematic in her approach to our concerns; she provided meaningful feedback and many ideas for organizing materials, working around student absences, motivating students, and sustaining collaboration within our PLC. I am already seeing the impact of Xtreme Reading on my students' word attack skills, comprehension, fluency, and reading stamina. I am looking forward to continuous positive outcomes for our students and schools.
