OAK PARK AND RIVER FOREST HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARYApril, 2011 Monthly Report
HIGHLIGHTS
National Library Snapshot Day: A day in the life of the OPRFHS Library.
HIGHLIGHTS
My students (who are often resistant readers) have greatly enjoyed the use of the Playaways in my classes…I think this helps close the reading gap for them and has proven quite beneficial in their comprehension. More importantly, their enthusiasm for the novels we have read has increased …I cannot properly express how much it has improved my classes.
