The Greenville County School District is committed to providing successful literacy experiences for all students. Our goal is to create engaged independent readers, writers, thinkers, and communicators.
Greenville County Schools' framework for literacy instruction is Balanced Literacy.
The model is predicated on the belief that all students can learn to read and write through pervasive and consistent implementation of best practices across grade levels and content areas.
The framework incorporates the research based theories of Vygotsky, Fountas and Pinnell, Gallagher, Calkins and others.
The model fosters gradual release of responsibility to the student as they receive instruction needed to meet grade level expectations in reading and writing, while allowing students to work at a level that is appropriate for individual growth and achievement.
All instruction in literacy is grounded in the South Carolina 2015 ELA Standards. These standards are a guiding force in determining grade level curriculum and learning targets.
