We at Tatem Elementary are currently using the Lucy Calkins Units of Study and Fundations.  This is a rigorous and challenging Language Arts program that is designed to build your child’s knowledge in word skills, reading comprehension, spelling, grammar, and writing. 

We will also be reading several Core Literature books throughout the year. There is a strong focus on reading and writing in.  Your child will be doing both each day.  Please make sure your child has an independent reading book to read as well as pencils to write with
