Reading Bill-Great Article

As I was doing research for my project I came across the Kansas Coalition for School Readiness website. There I found this article. We had a long discussion during class last week about the reading bill and I thought this article confirmed many of our thoughts regarding the bill. Something else that is interesting is the fact of where the money will come from to support this bill. They want to use early childhood money. There is a petition you can sign to save the CIF. If you click here it will take you to a website to give you information and the petition. I would hate to see money taken away from the early childhood programs in our state to fund a bill that wants to retain 3rd graders. To me that does not make any sense at all.
