For those of you new to this site: This is a web site for and about the Reading Program in the Billerica Public Schools. It's designed for elementary reading teachers, students, and parents. It belongs to all of us. There are forms, charts, articles and links here. I've re-worked the site to try to make it more user-friendly. After all, the point is to make it easier to find things, not to dazzle you with graphics. Let me know how you like it.
Additions, suggestions, and criticisms are appreciated - and used!
