Curriculum
All Reading Club programs at the elementary level use the Benchmark Enrichment Company curriculum. This curriculum is for K-5th grades. This curriculum is designed to accelerate reading progress. Each student's reading is monitored daily and reported to classroom teachers weekly. 2 progress reports are sent out during the year. These reports do not tie into the student's classroom report cards. If you have additional questions about Reading Club, please call me at 837-5826 or e-mail robbleem@issaquah.wednet.edu
