History Of Golf
For generations, the favorite type of recreation in my family has been golf. I remember being a small child and trailing my great-grandfather, my grandfather and my own father around the golf course near my mother's place of work. Come to think of it, my only memory of my great grandfather is that of him with a golf club in his hands. Actually, the same goes for my grandfather as well. I remember that as a young boy, the first time I ever received applause in the classroom was when I talked about the history of golf. I guess everyone was surprised to see an eight year old knowing so much about an adult's game. Actually, I can still remember it vividly now.

California AB1802 Funds for Online Reading Instruction for EL Students: Unique Reader Pre-Qualified
Kensington, CA (PRWeb) February 26, 2007 -- Let's Go Learn, Inc. announces that its innovative and award-winning online differentiated reading instruction reading program, Unique Reader, is pre-qualified for use under California's Assembly Bill (AB) 1802 funding. California's AB1802 allows for the purchase of supplemental materials for English Language students by school districts in California.
This means that now virtually all schools in California can receive the proven benefits that Unique Reader delivers. Unique Reader begins with a Diagnostic Online Reading Assessment (DORA), in which students are assessed online in seven sub-skills of reading. Unique Reader then provides targeted, online differentiated reading instruction. It dramatically accelerates reading achievement for EL students by recognizing each student's individual needs without guesswork. Unlike other programs, the assessment embedded in Unique Reader is a fully diagnostic literacy assessment.
According to the California Department of Education, "Assembly Bill 1802, Chapter 79 of the Statutes of 2006, appropriates $30,000,000 on a one-time basis for local educational agencies (LEAs) to purchase supplementary instructional materials for English learners (ELs) in kindergarten through twelfth grade 'to accelerate pupils as rapidly as possible towards grade level proficiency' in reading, writing, and speaking English...." Under AB1802, districts may apply for up to $25 in funding per English Language student, based on the most recent school census.
Districts must first apply to the state for AB1802 funding, and funds may only be used to purchase state-approved supplemental materials, to be used in addition to other state-adopted programs. Unique Reader, with its adaptive reading assessment and differentiated instruction, is pre-qualified by the Department of Education for purchase with AB1802 funding.
Let's Go Learn offers K-12 reading and math assessment and instructionas well as professional development courses for teachers and specialists. Developed by math and reading specialists and researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, Let's Go Learn's suite of products has proven to be extremely valid and reliable.
