News and Announcements
Congratulations, St. Lawrence and St. Mary Kindergartners!
The Rowland Reading Foundation announces “exceptional” results achieved by St. Lawrence and St. Mary kindergarteners who used the Superkids Reading Program during the 2007-08 school year!
The Lafayette Catholic schools were part of a large national study of the effectiveness of the Superkids program. The children were tested in the fall of 2007 using a national reading assessment tool before and after using the program.
The results showed that the schools started the year at the 54th percentile, or better than 53% of students who took the test nationally. They ended the year much higher at the 81st percentile for a gain of 27 percentile points, which means
they scored higher than 80% of the students who took the test.
The SuperKids Program is continuing with St. Lawrence and St. Mary first graders piloting the program this school year.
The Superkids Program is a K-2 reading and language arts program that has been introduced in Catholic schools around the country. Other Catholic schools in our Diocese that participated in the study last year are: St. Charles Borromeo, Peru;
St. John the Baptist, Tipton; and St. Augustine, Rensselaer.
