When I was in the 4th grade (1970), I remember something
called SRA. It was a reading program where each student
read at their own pace and took a test at the end. I think
the levels were color coded.
Does anyone else remember this? I'd love to find one.

NIGHT OF THE CORN MAIDEN by Cindy Bramscher is starting to
catch on with middle school students – especially those who
are reluctant readers. A new Teacher’s Guide is now

Fellow Educators,
The Miss Tennky Area AFS Leadership Team continues its
quest to promote peace and goodwill in our global world
bringing great resourceful AFS students and teachers to our
area. Please, encourage your students, faculty, friends
and neighbors to open their hearts and homes to AFS
exchange students and teachers for the fall. When you
believe that a student can profit from going on an AFS
exchange, do what you can to inspire him/her to follow
his/her adventuresome spirit. Limited places are available
for summer and next fall for students and teachers wishing
to go on AFS exchanges. New bios are arriving for the fall
and wish lists are being sent into the Portland office to
insure that famlies get students that will be very
successful in their communities, schools and families.
Families do not have to have children in the home to host
Teachers coming into your school system will be at no cost
to the system. Retired, single adults and empty nesters
also make great AFS families. For more details and
materials call 1-800-AFS-INFO or go to

Hi all,
My husband and I are teachers from Berlin, CT. Rob
recently authored his first book and several school
districts across the country are using it with their kids.
It's titled, A Winner by Any Standard: A Personal Growth
Journey for Every American Teen and it promotes all the
ideals upon which future success is built—e.g., optimism,
gratitude, self-belief, a strong work ethic, a sense of
wonder, humility, originality. Any word of mouth you can
spread would be greatly appreciated as #1, it can empower
young people and counteract popular culture and #2, the
literary world isn't set up to accept/assist a
schoolteacher with no national platform from which to
promote. You can learn more by visiting

Closing the Gap/NCLB/GEAR UP: "From High School to College,
Boarding Pass to Success," book that will motivate Latino,
African-American, other minorities and underprivileged
students and help them to succeed in High School and in
their race for College.
Information is power; sadly, even today, in the high tech
information era, we can see that many kids (minorities or
not) in low-income neighborhoods do not get beyond high
school basically for lack of information and motivation.
Both inspirational and informative, this book traces the
successful journey of a first generation Hispanic family in
what represents for them "the land of opportunities," the
USA, and their struggle to bring their children into Ivy
League universities against all odds. If these children
were able to do it, every child that follows their path can
succeed. By encouraging the goal of getting a college
degree in order to have a better life and to give a better
life to your own kids, by showing that caressing a dream
that can come true, that pursuing a goal that can be
reached will definitely make a positive impact in their
lives.
The story is complemented with practical information: A
five-page detailed chart, "The Landmarks Along the Road,"
that shows, step by step, what needs to be done throughout
the four years of high school, indicating not only
deadlines, but approximate starting dates which will allow
students to complete each step on time; an extensive list
of useful URLs of sites with free practice tests, and a
section on how, and where get funding for college.
Since the book details, step by step, what they need to do
in high school to prepare for college, it can be assigned
as a required reading in the summer between middle school
and high school, or in the summer of the freshman year,
when they still have time to close the gap so no child is
left behind.

There are a couple of ways in which you can encourage your
students to read the book: including it in the reading
lists, so they buy it and read it, designate some of
the "Gear Up" funds to purchase it for the minority and
low income neighborhoods kids who cannot afford it.
Should you need further information, please do not hesitate
to contact me.

Hello. My name is Rachael and I am a freshman at a
private school. For a project my science teacher gave me,
I need to ask a science teacher a few questions. Is
anyone willing to email me and answer less than 10
questions? The only requirement is that you be a public
school teacher. Thanks!
