What's New - Effective Reading Programs: The Six Missing Pieces The International Reading Association (IRA) responds to NCLB reform with 6 additional elements that effective reading programs must have. Merit Software enables schools to provide these elements in easy-to-implement ways. http://www.meritsoftware.com/news/display.php?pid=34 Grants for Educators - Toyota Family Literacy Program The National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) is seeking five school districts to receive an award of $600,000 to implement the highly successful Toyota Family Literacy Program (TFLP). The opportunity builds on Toyota's commitment to this successful program, which currently serves 45 elementary schools in 15 cities nationwide. Recommended Resource - The Lexile Book Database The Lexile Book Database contains more than 100,000 English and Spanish fiction and non-fiction titles from more than 450 publishers. Once you know a student's Lexile measure, you can search the database for books that fall within his or her Lexile range. Merit is now offering demonstrations to show how our programs can work for you. The live demos take approximately 30 to 45 minutes. You will see step-by-step how Merit can improve student skills and enhance your teaching. http://www.meritsoftware.com/contact_us/live_demo/
