Levels of Service Enhancements aligned with Scott Foresman Reading Street Grades 2-6


The following documents are being shared by BPS Levels of Service Teacher Angie Bersaw. Her purpose in producing these Assignment Buffets was to enhance the current Scott Foresman reading series by creating alternate activities for the high achieving students to complete, rather than just giving them the worksheets. Her hope is that others can use these activities to help engage students in tasks that will help them gain a stronger grasp on critical thinking skills and enhance their learning opportunities.
