Get READY Grant 2007-2008 Get READY (Get Ready, Empowered and Determined Youth), a project of the Woonsocket, Rhode Island Education Department, offers a comprehensive strategy to improve the reading skills and academic achievement of 6,296 students, grades K-12, with a focus on grades 5-9, by addressing critical elements of an effective school library media program. Grant funds will allow this urban district to replace outdated library materials, add one to two books per student at each library, allow extended library hours, and add new computers to connect students to information at other libraries. The funds will also increase professional development in the form of technology training for teachers and library media specialists. The Get READY technology component will target students in grades 5 through 9 helping to facilitate the district's implementation of capstone projects for 5th and 8th grade students.
