Students gain love of reading in Grosse Pointe

F.A.S.T. Reading Program at Grosse Pointe.
See slideshow.

Whether they're struggling in school or just students who want to get ahead, a program in Grosse Pointe is turning reluctant readers into bookworms. It's called F.A.S.T. and it combines phonics with engaging stories students can't wait to read. With a six-students-to-one-teacher ratio, kids at every level get the personalized attention they need to succeed. Most students maintain the knowledge they've learned in the school year, but many more gain both new skills and a newfound confidence that sends them back to school ready to move on to the next level. The program isn't just for Grosse Pointe students--there is a cost, but it's open to all elementary school students.
