Opportunities for parents to learn about and reinforce reading comprehension skills and strategies at home through an informative literacy night and the creation of a parent take-home library collection, complete with a parent resource guide for each book. A matching set of leveled classroom library books will offer the opportunity for teachers to further differentiate the teaching of reading comprehension skills and strategies at school.
Madison students will also participate in two additional Education Foundation of Wauwatosa (EFW) grants next year.

Career Books
