Mathis Elementary, Mathis, TX
Thank you for your Winter 2016
article "Once Upon a Time," about
literacy programs for students. I was
particularly interested in the section
"Focusing on Preschool Readiness."
Mathis Elementary has been fo-
cusing on pre-K writing and reading
for the past four years. It's amazing
how our four- and five-year-olds'
brains can focus. Their brains are
like sponges. Yes, I've had some kin-
dergartners and first graders reading
already! It can be done. Thank you
for that article.
Dear Editor,
Mathis Elementary prekin-
dergarten students focus
on reading and writing.
