New Center Elementary School, who recently became the first student from Sevier County to
win the national award for outstanding growth and achievement in the READ 180 program; and WHEREAS, created by the Scholastic Corporation and currently operated by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, READ 180 is a reading intervention program that utilizes adaptive technology to
provide differentiated instruction for a diverse classroom; and WHEREAS, the program focuses on reading components such as phonemic awareness,
phonological awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension, giving students the tools they need to improve reading performance and set them on the path to becoming successful readers; and WHEREAS, Carson Starritt's noteworthy achievement in the READ 180 program is a tremendous source of pride for his family, his school, and his community, all of whom are deeply proud of this remarkable young man and his determination; and WHEREAS, Carson has distinguished himself as a young Tennessean of whom we can all be proud, and it is most fitting that we applaud his recent national honor; now, therefore,
