The O.S.C.A.R. program is a new reading program offered this year at DCMS. The aim of the program is to get students excited about reading while rewarding them at the same time. O.S.C.A.R stands for Our Students Care About Reading. Details about the O.S.C.A.R program will be given to students in the coming weeks. We look forward to seeing ALL of our students on the red carpet!

Part of the reason students struggle with reading is because they lack prior knowledge and background. They can decode the words, but the words remain meaningless without a foundation of knowledge. To help build students’ prior knowledge, this year I will assign an Article of the Week (AOW) every Monday. For more information, click on the Article of the Week link located under the course information tab.
