LWL is a K-5 charter school in the Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland. LWL prides itself on supporting our diverse students by meeting them where they are and engaging our families and community in their learning in meaningful ways. Our school’s strong emphasis on English language development and accelerated reading growth is supported by all stakeholders. To that effect, the school’s Family Leadership Council will begin hosting walking fieldtrips with parents to our local libraries and also support a pilot program in second grade to incentivize increased reading practice at home. Participating parents will attend bi-weekly workshops and have the opportunity for embedded reading time with their children.
Schoolwide we are also launching the LWL Reading Challenge. Our students will strive to read 30 million words and earn 5 million Raz Stars by the month of May! Our new mascot, the LWL dragon, is championing this effort and classes that hit monthly goals will get a special visit and/or dance party with the Dragon.
