Media Center’s Supports Elementary SFA Program

Have you ever seen an elementary student reading his/her “green dot” or “red dot” book? These two types of books are from the Success For All (SFA) Lending Library located in the Lackland ISD Media Center to support the Elementary’s comprehensive reading program for all grade levels. The Lending Library consists of over 2,000 paperback books, purchased through the SFA budget, and sorted by Grade Level, with “colored” dots in the top right-hand corner of the front cover indicating the grade. For example, a “green dot” book is 2nd grade level and a “red dot” book is fourth grade level, etc. All titles are recommendations from the SFA program, developed at John Hopkins University. Besides the leveling of these books, the Kinder, 1st, and 2nd grade books are extra special. Each of these books has a Story Sharing Sheet with (a) an introduction describing what the story is about; (b) story questions that a parent can ask his/her child before, during, and after reading the story; and (c) a story extender with fun activities that the parent and child can do together. Many students borrow at least one of these readers weekly to supplement the book choices they make from the Media Center’s main collection and read the SFA book during the required 20-minute nightly reading assignment to build fluency. Students may also find the reading level of a book from the main collection by looking up the title in the Media Center’s online catalog. Elementary students really want to know the reading level of the book(s) they are reading so they challenge themselves continually to improve their reading skills.

Bernard Curtis Brown II Memorial NASA Space Camp Scholarship Information on the Scholarship

About Space Camp

The Space Camp is a six-day program that shows young men and women firsthand what it takes to be an astronaut. Activities include

simulated Space Shuttle missions, training simulators, rocket building and launches, scientific experiments, and lectures of the past,

present, and future of space exploration.

Space Camp is offered in Huntsville, Alabama, and takes a unique, fun and hands-on approach to learning outside the classroom –

they also experience something even more important: developing bonds of friendship.
