• Literacy group releases new OG data (postandcourier.com) — Ladson Elementary is seeing big benefits from teachers trained in the Orton-Gillingham reading approach, part of the expanding Lowcountry Literacy Project in Charleston County schools.

A public documentary screening on the effort is planned in Charleston next month.
