On September 22 I did an in-service on Open Court Reading in School District 159 in Matteson, IL. The district uses Open Court Reading in grades kindergarten and grade 1. I remember conducting a training at the board office a few years ago, as the charming building looked familiar to me when I arrived. I worked with kindergarten teachers in the morning and 1st grade teachers in the afternoon. The district loves the program and has been using Open Court Reading for many years. A teacher who has been with the district for years told me she has taught Open Court Reading for 30 years!
Elementary School District 159 is located in Cook County and serves portions of the communities in Matteson, Richton Park, Tinley Park and Frankfort. The student population of 2310 and is served by five locations. Four grade schools, Woodgate, Armstrong, Yates and Sieden Prairie, house grades pre-school through fifth. One middle school, Colin Powell, houses grades sixth through eighth. The district Administration Center is located on Vollmer Road on the site of the original two-room Sedan Prairie schoolhouse, originally built in 1869
