| A move to make the Accelerated Reading Program
available to all students in Tift County was approved by the Tift County
Board of Education during its monthly meeting Tuesday night.
The program offers incentives and rewards for
each book a student reads from a selected list. The student then gets one
chance to pass a computer-generated test.
The books and computer will be housed at the
Tift County Public Library located on Library Lane in Tifton.
The program was previously approved by the
Tift County Library Board and the board of the Tift County Foundation for
Educational Excellence, the sponsor of the program.
"We hope it's going to lead to overall reading
improvement for the county," said Mike Brumby, representing the foundation. |
