Third-grade teacher Susan Minton listens as a student reads at Spout Springs School of Enrichment.
In Susan Minton’s third-grade reading class at Spout Springs School of Enrichment, children eagerly file in and select the book of their choice from the shelves filled with colorfully bound stories at the back of the room. In a reading pilot program, children are actively engaged in literature. They not only read the stories, but later critically analyze the text.
