Ignite Reading Gib Olinger

Students participate in an Ignite Reading demonstration Nov. 14, 2023, at Gib Olinger Elementary School, Milton-Freewater. The Milton-Freewater Unified School District launched the program during the 2022-23 school year to assist students with literacy skills.

MILTON-FREEWATER — A year after launching a partnership with Ignite Reading, the Milton-Freewater Unified School District is pleased with the results.

According to a press release, Assistant Superintendent Ami Muilenburg said the district was initially concerned with the program’s virtual component. However, she said success levels across all grade levels have erased that initial hesitancy.
