Samantha Shines!


Samantha is a third grader who has been doing work at Langsford over the last few months to improve her reading and spelling skills. Mom came in recently giddy with good news! She had just met with Samantha's teacher to go over Samantha's January SRI scores. Her teacher said that they hoped for an increase of 50 points per student on SRI scores over the course of the year. Samantha's score between fall and January increased by 297 points!

Samantha recently told us that she used to feel like she wasn't as smart as her classmates because they could read better than her. But now she has been helping all the good readers with the hard multi-syllable words. In Samantha's words, "It makes me feel good about myself."

It makes us feel good too. Keep up the good work, Samantha!
