Notes: On November 19, Literacy specialist, Amy Kvaal, presented on the multi-dimensional literacy
support available to all of our children. Amy broke down the different levels of support starting with
what is provided to all children as part of classroom literacy instruction and support. Amy explained
that if a child needs additional support, there are 3 tiers of additional help available. A focused data
collection team reviews the needs of Bridge students several times a school year and works to get
each student the help that they need to continue their progression. SBC parents viewed examples of
the types of materials that are now in classrooms including new and improved decodable texts,
Geodes (thanks to Lex Education), that align with the FUNdations curriculum. Our teachers are
feeling confident and excited with the new level of resources they are equipped with to help teach our
children the ins and outs of reading -- from letter recognition and trick words at the K level to
persuasive paragraphs in 3rd grade.
A motion was made to approve the following meeting minutes from previous SBC meeting,
