Reading Resource

The Reading Resource team consists of Ms. Settles, Ms. Smith, and Ms. Wade.  These three individuals work with small groups of students in order to assist them in increasing their reading proficiency.  They use a wide variety of resources to ensure that the individual needs of all students are met.  

Oscar Smith Middle works hard to give students the tools they need to become successful readers.  Through the Accelerated Reader program, students are given goals that they need to achieve, and their progress is closely monitored by the media staff, teachers and administration.  M.I.R.P. (Monitored Independent Reading Practice) is a program that was just implemented this year.  This program gives students 20 minutes a day in certain classes in which to read Accelerated Reader books and have their progress monitored.  The SOAR to Success program is another reading program that OSM adopted several years ago.  In this program, small groups of students work steadily through a series of books in order to increase their reading comprehension.  This is accomplished by reviewing vocabulary, context clues, and relevancy throughout this program.
