Heart Reading Program - Hardeman County is excited about our new H.E.A.R.T. Reading program for grades kindergarten through fifth grades. Students will be assessed three times throughout the year using a program called Aimsweb. Teachers will use the information from this assessment to personalize Reading instruction for each student. Students will participate in 90 minutes of uninterrupted reading each morning. Included in this 90 minutes will be whole group instruction, small group instruction, and independent work in literacy stations. Teachers will be in close contact with parents to report student successes in Reading!
