     Tuesday and Thursday mornings, during Open Circulation time in the Media Center, you will find a special program going on.  Leading to Read is a Reading is Fundamental (RIF) program organized by Ann See, one of our Merrick-Moore Guidance Counselors.  Second grade “Master readers” come in to read to first grade “Star readers”, and now first graders are reading to the second graders too!  Several other members of the staff have volunteered to assist in the program as well from the Deaf and Hard of Hearing program (DHH), the English as a Second Language Program (ESL), and the Exceptional Children’s program (EC).      As part of this RIF program, the children will be given 2 books to take home with them.  This program has also received grants from Donor’s choose for books for the program, and from Adopt-A-Classroom.
