Quotes from the Classroom

"The Fountas and Pinnell Leveled Literacy Intervention program that the Foundation purchased last year has been a great addition to Birmingham Falls academic programs. As the EIP teacher, I have been able to take learners at their level of reading and teach them phonics skills, comprehension, and decoding strategies. The children are learning, improving their reading levels, and feeling successful."
- EIP Teacher
