Young students prepare for
kindergarten with the
Ready, Set, Grow program
BY ANDIE L. BRYMER
Staff Writer
Ready, Set, Grow is
preparing students for
kindergarten.
The program, with sites at
Bethware, East and Grover
_ elementary schools, focuses
on language, motor and
social skills.
Students also review col-
ors, numbers and body
parts.
Kindergarten teacher
Brenda Wright has been
with the program since it
began seven years ago.
She has watched as stu-
dents who arrived timid
quickly get used to the
classroom.
Students also learn
WwW
through field trips to the
library and YMCA. A nurse
coordinates immunization
records. A staffer from the
Parent Center is also part of
Ready, Set, Grow.
Assessment tests help
teachers know which areas
individual students need to
work on.
The program pays off
especially when students
face end of grade testing a
few years later, Wright said.
The free program takes
place each June. Children
attend class from 8 a.m. to 1
am.
Ready, Set, Grow has won
the Governor’s Award for
Excellence and was featured
during a state Best Practices
Seminar.
