Greetings from our literacy team, comprised of reading teacher Michelle Hasel and our library paraprofessional, Janice Morton.

Our ultimate goal is to help every West Stafford student grow a genuine love of reading and become a life-long reader. We feel fortunate that our reading department not only works with children within their classrooms, but we also provide interventions where children come to the reading room. Here they may gain additional Fundations practice or attend a group using Leveled Literacy Intervention texts and strategies.

Beyond these targeted interventions, we are proud to promote literacy school-wide, encouraging involvement:


Literacy program questions may be directed to our Reading Teacher.
