More Information About Our Reading Curriculum:
O
ur reading curriculum consists of whole class Shared Reading with grade-level texts, small group Guided Reading with texts at students' developmental reading level, and individual or small group work in Literacy Rotations. We use the Reach for Reading curriculum as well as other supplemental materials that are aligned to the Common Core State Standards.
Shared Reading lessons include the close reading of both fiction and non-fiction passages and responding to them to prepare for the SBA, as well as, a literature focus with the CIA (Collect, Interpret, Apply) unit of study for the book, Poppy.
