The Art and Science of Teaching Reading with Best Practices
Our students need a solid foundation of phonemic awareness, phonics, and writing skills (encoding sounds to print) to build reading success! They also deserve oral language fluency and to be a part of a joyful learning community. We encourage you to build a love of language and an “I can do it!” mindset with shared poetry and song experiences. We honor both the art and science of teaching reading when we give students “I Can Read” Poetry Notebooks to build foundational skills and create celebrations of language!
