Isi and Toa are practicing to read to their wet day monitoring class on Monday! They are reading smoothly and with expression!

Mrs Bosch came in with her son Tony. He was is so dyslexic but has gone on to do wonderful things at college. He gets Excellents and we are all so proud of his strategies that have him be a great learner even though he has trouble spelling!
