The Arkansas Campaign for Grade-Level Reading (AR-GLR) was launched in 2011 by the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation to move the needle on education outcomes in Arkansas by focusing on third grade reading proficiency. AR-GLR is managed in partnership with Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, the Arkansas Community Foundation, and the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation. AR-GLR is part of a growing movement led 4 FULL SPEED AHEAD: MOVING THE NEEDLE ON GRADE-LEVEL READING IN ARKANSAS by the national Campaign for Grade-Level Reading that includes over 200 communities in 42 states.
AR-GLR is a collaborative effort of over 25 organizations that believe the only way we can make progress on grade-level reading is to work collectively and in partnership with families, educators, policymakers, and business leaders around the state.
Beebe Schools is doing its part with a new Summer Reading Program which includes the Beebe Bookmobile. Be watching for more information and links to the Beebe Summer Reading Program throughout the summer.
Parents and families, here are some things you can do:
• Talk, read, and sing to your children from birth, building on what we know about early brain development and helping them develop strong vocabularies
• Bring more books into your home by enrolling your children in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
• Make sure children are in school every day, except when they are sick, even in pre-k and kindergarten, when the foundations of reading are being taught
• Access free and affordable resources such as public library summer reading programs to keep children reading over the summer – AND the Badger Bookmobile!
Following is a link to the Badger Bookmobile schedule. Let’s keep our students reading over the summer! http://bit.ly/1Wd3FJL

Mrs. Clevenger’s 4th grade class helped pilot a new Education program with NASA. NASA set up a portable studio, and through google hangout, her class was given a complimentary “beta testing” session. The lesson was called “Asteroid Disasteroid.” Mrs. Clevenger also had the lab set up in her class, so the students could experience it live. It addressed 4th grade standards related to speed and collision. Mrs. Clevenger's class was the very first to experience the session.
