Study Skills / Read 180

Mr. Cunningham's Study Skills is unlike any other 7th grade class. 

PK Yonge, and the North East Florida Educational Consortium (NEFEC) began the Florida Reading Initiative with a dream most educators thought impossible - that every student could be reading on grade level.  To reach that goal, PK Yonge reading intervention teachers have researched many approaches and programs.  The middle school, with tremendous support from administration and technology-support staff, have launched READ 180 as our primary reading intervention program.
