• LITERACY PROGRAMS
    The Batesville School District is committed to putting Students First. One of the ways we do this is by using the Science of Reading — how the brain learns to read — to inform our Literacy teaching practices. Here you will find information about the Science of Reading, R.I.S.E. Arkansas, Literacy programs, research, and resources.

          R.I.S.E. Arkansas

          • R.I.S.E. Arkansas
            R.I.S.E (Reading Initiative for Student Excellence) Arkansas encourages a culture of reading by coordinating a statewide reading campaign with community partners, parents, and teachers to establish the importance of reading in homes, schools, and communities. This initiative is facilitated through the Arkansas Department of Education.

            The goals of R.I.S.E. are as follows:

            1. Sharpen the focus and strengthen instruction.
            2. Create community collaboration.
            3. Build a culture of reading!

            Because of R.I.S.E., the focus on reading progression for your child has shifted from determining your child’s reading level to determining what skills they need to read with fluency and comprehension.
