An innovative new space de-
signed for children with diverse
learning needs is helping chil-
dren at Rosa Parks Elementary
concentrate on reading and other
classroom tasks, setting an expec-
tation that everyone can read and
graduate.
Oregon’s first SuperSensory
Literacy Space, created by the
Portland nonprofit The Shadow
Project, was unveiled May 19 at
the north Portland school.
As part of the school district’s
“Read Together initiative,” six
reading and family organizations
are providing students at five pi-
lot schools with intensive, wrap-
around literacy services.
The Shadow Project’s unique,
compact, multisensory libraries
are designed to help children with
learning disabilities like dyslexia,
ADHD and autism, utilizing more
than 200 high-interest, highly
readable, multicultural, and five-
piece books sets for group lesson
plans.
The pace also provides access
to an audio library of more than
80,000 titles; a computer tablet
and accessories; and multisenso-
ry tools to calm and or stimulate
students, including fidgets, kinetic
sand, weighted lap pads, and nub-
by-surfaced cushions.
The Shadow Project partners
with special education teachers
to close the achievement gap that
separates children with disabili-
ties from their peers. Vetted by the
Harvard Business School Associ-
ation of Oregon, the organization
serves 1,500 children from kin-
dergarten through eighth grade in
34 schools in Portland, East Mult-
nomah and Yamhill Counties, and
Hillsboro.
Free Parks and Fishing Weekend
State parks throughout Oregon
invite the public to camp and play
for free the weekend of June 6-7 in
celebration of State Parks Day and
Free Fishing Weekend.
Camping is free the night of
June 6 in traditional RV and tent
sites. Yurts, cabins and tepees are
available at regular price. Parking
will also be free June 6-7, at the 26
parks that charge a day-use park-
ing fee.
Campsite reservations may be
made by calling 800-452-5687
before 5 p.m. June 5. Or, reserve
online at oregonstateparks.org.
“State Parks Day is our chance
to say ‘thank you’ to our visitors,”
said Oregon Parks and Recreation
Department spokesman Richard
Walkoski.
Visitors will also be able to
fish, crab and clam without a li-
cense June 6-7 for Oregon’s Free
Fishing Weekend. The Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife
will provide the gear, bait and in-
structions at some state parks, in-
cluding Champoeg, Detroit Lake,
Jessie Honeyman and parks in the
Columbia River Gorge. All events
are listed at dfw.state.or.us/educa-
tion/angling/free_fishing.
