Abstract of Program /Activity
The intended use of the grant funds is to purchase library books for Southridge
Elementary School in Lewisville, Texas. The new books will be purchased, added to
the library inventory and ready for use by the 2002 -2003 school year. This does not
include additions to the professional library. These books will be used for individual
student activities such as research projects, book reports and pleasure reading. Other
uses will include librarian - facilitated activities such as Arthur's Reading Club, the Cobra
Reading Club, Family Library Night and book reviews. These programs will not be
confined by a timeline but rather are to be active through the calendar school year.
Arthur's Reading Club is a reading incentive program for the primary grades K -2.
When students have finished reading a book, they fill out an Arthur's Reading Club for
(see Appendix I) and turn it in to the designated box. Each day, a different student is
chosen as the winner. The winner's name is posted on the school TV channel and they
receive a paperback book as a prize. In addition, a large stuffed version of Arthur gets
to visit the winner's classroom for the day. The Cobra Reading is a similar program for
the intermediate grades 3 -5 (see Appendix II). Family Library Night is an opportunity for
parents to come with their children once a month to the library to read books and enjoy
special literature based events. The students also complete book review forms (see
Appendix III K -2 form and Appendix IV 3 -5 form) on books they have read. This helps
tie reading and writing together. All of these activities are part of the library program to
promote student reading.
2
Program /Project Purpose /Need/ Importance
The ability to read is the foundation to all learning. If a person is illiterate, then he
cannot read a street sign or a menu not to mention a Science or Math textbook. The
purpose of purchasing additional library materials is to increase student literacy by
providing a large selection of different genres of text to peak their interest. Examining
the results of the Reading portion of the 2001 Texas Assessment of Academic Skills
(TAAS), Observation Surveys, Quantitative Reading Inventories and running records
can help assess the educational need for the additional books.
If the reading scores, on the TAAS for example, of those children considered
economically disadvantages can be raised, then the score of the other sub populations
that are examined will also improve. 14.1% of the student population at Southridge is
considered economically disadvantaged (see Appendix V). That is 5.3% higher than
the overall percent for the entire Lewisville Independent School District (see Appendix
VI). This entitles us to Title I funding but it is not enough. Many of these students
receive little or no educational support from home. The 2001 TAAS scores for the
economically disadvantaged population reflect this. Only 78.9% of the economically
disadvantaged students at Southridge met the basic minimum requirements. The
average of the same population for the entire district was 3.3% higher. The academic
expectations for Texas students will continue to rise at a rate with which the yearly
budget for the library cannot keep up. Economically disadvantaged children rely upon
the school library to provide resources for research and for pleasure reading. Currently
there are 6845 printed resources in the Southridge library. With the current student
3
enrollment of 735, that is approximately 9.1 books per student. This is not sufficient to
aggressively promote literacy among the economically disadvantaged students that
attend Southridge.
4
Program's Educational Objectives/ Staffing Needs/ Implementation Plan/
Number /Grade Level of Students Served
The main educational objective of adding books to the Southridge library is to
raise the literacy levels of all the students, including the economically disadvantaged.
This would include having students reading on grade level in fluency and
comprehension. The reflection of achievement for this objective will come in the form of
having at least 80% of the economically disadvantaged population meeting minimum
requirements on TAAS. Beginning in the year 2003, students in third grade will be
required to pass the reading portion of the new standardized assessment called the
Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) before moving on to the fourth
grade. Having every student attain success in reading is more important than ever.
There are several goals that, if met, will facilitate the success of the educational
objective stated above.
The first goal is to increase the inventory of the library so that it can meet state
standards for acceptability. To earn the Acceptable rating, a school must have a
minimum of 15 books per student. As stated earlier, the current collection of books
allows for 9.1 books per student for an enrollment of 735 students. This is far below the
minimum requirements for an Acceptable rating from the state of Texas. In correlation
to the goal earning an Acceptable rating for the library is increasing the inventory. By
the year 2005, the goal is to have 11,000 books in the Southridge library. With the
current inventory at 6,845 books, it will take an addition of 1,385 each year. The yearly
5
budget of $8,000 dollars will only purchase on average 800 books. That is nearly 600
books short of the goal. Any books purchased using money from the requested grant
will help the Southridge library meet its goal for the 2002 -2003 school year. A third goal
is to increase the students' interest in reading by increasing the variety of books
available to them. This will in turn increase circulation monthly in each genre, which is
the fourth goal. If all of these goals can be met, then the objective of having each child
reading various types of literature on grade level can be achieved.
The expertise of the librarian will be depended on to prepare the books to be
used. She will be in charge of monitoring all of the activities described in the abstract.
It will be her responsibility to purchase the books and add them to the library collection.
She will also be responsible for providing the classroom teacher with the book review
forms. Many of these responsibilities are already a part of the Southridge librarian's
duties. All students from every grade level enrolled at Southridge will benefit from
additions to the library.
6
The entire amount of the grant, $4,200, will be used to purchase books. All
personnel expenses are covered by the Lewisville Independent School District and the
technology needed to order, catalog and monitor circulation of the books has already
been purchased and is currently in place. The implementation of the activities
described in the abstract has already begun and will not need additional funds from the
grant awarded. The following is an outline of the expected budget.

Monitoring Plan
The Lewisville Independent School District will share the following financial
records with the city of Coppell for monitoring purposes. Copies of all purchase order
requests for book with grant money, completed orders, packing slips of books received
and balance sheets from the records of Region X regarding the grant money account.
Circulation records will also be shared with the city of Coppell to monitor the circulation
of books purchased with grant money. Any other records, within reason and pertaining
to the use of grant money for purchases, requested by the city of Coppell will be shared.
The preferred payment schedule would be to receive the funds in one
installment. This will allow the librarian to make a large purchase at the beginning of the
year and again after school has started. To assess the effectiveness of the library
program in the intermediate grades, TAAS or current standardized test results for
grades 3 -5 will be presented no later than the last day in the 2002 -2003 school calendar
year. Average reading scores for the entire school year in grades K -2 will be presented
by the last day in the 2002 -2003 school calendar year to assess the effectiveness of the
reading program.
