*WIGs Wednesday* Meet Kyren Yarbrough! Kyren just got done with kindergarten at Williams Elementary. When he entered school, he came in with a lot of solid reading and word skills, so he and his teacher (Mr. McDaniel) set a pretty high WIG for him in Reading. He not only reached that goal by spring, he moved several reading levels above his target! He has already set a personal goal to move up at least 5 more reading levels in the fall. We are sure he's continuing reading this summer to help him reach his goals. We are proud of you Kyren! #MCUSD2 #Mattoon #WilliamsElementary
