An Early Literacy Leader with the South Shore Regional School Board says the introduction of the new Framework has been a smooth transition. Gretchen Gerhardt says students are beginning to get comfortable with the program. She says she's glad the Framework starts with children in primary because it helps target kids at a younger age. Gerhardt says it's still early to tell if the Framework will have better results than Reading Recovery. She says the Department of Education has commended the School Board for their quick adjustment of adopting the Framework into their schools.
