Innovative Teaching: Walk to Read | Dare County Schools

This summer, Dare County Schools hosted a Summer Reading Camp to provide additional literacy support and practice for elementary students across the district. Rhys Lamberg, an Early Literacy Specialist from the NC Department of Public Instruction, was instrumental in leading this program and assisting teachers with their reading instruction.

One of the innovative teaching methods that was piloted at this camp is "Walk to Read." It is a teaching strategy where students are placed in groups based on their reading skill levels and needs rather than grade level. These groups then met in hour-long sessions to focus on the specific areas where the group needed additional support.

Teachers and students had great success practicing this method and look forward to implementing it next school year across our elementary schools. Check out the video to learn more about Walk to Read and the innovative early literacy programs happening at Dare County Schools.
