The following are the main components of our comprehensive literacy program:

Shared Reading

The teacher models fluent reading, demonstrates the reading process, models comprehension structures, and introduces children to different genres in a whole-group instructional process.

Expand Shared Reading

As readers' skills mature, students benefit from shared reading and writing through focus on comprehension, text access features, and genre elements.

Guided Reading

In a small-group instructional process, students of all abilities are guided through the reading of carefully leveled text.

Shared Writing

In a whole-group writing experience, the teacher models the writing process, skills, and strategies as students dictate and participate in the writing.

Guided Writing

Small-group or individual instruction focuses on a skill needed in student writing.

Independent Reading

Students read on their own from self-selected reading materials, so they can practice skills, develop fluency, and enjoy literature.

Assessment-Driven Instruction

Using a variety of assessments, teachers can discover student needs, evaluate their understanding, and monitor student growth throughout the year.

Independent Writing

Students practice the writing skills, strategies, and conventions they learned during shared and guided writing.

Process Writing

Students develop a piece of writing by working through stages: preparing, writing, polishing, and presenting.
