Literacy: Our main resource for our literacy block is Into Reading by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
Throughout the year students will be guided through 12 different reading and writing modules.
Our reading workshop will consist of whole-group lessons, teacher-led small groups, collaborative work, independent practice, and whole-group “wrap-up” discussions to bring everything together.
Our writing workshop will consist of mentor texts, learning the writing process, building strong writing habits, and exercising choice of writing topics.
The reading and writing modules are closely aligned to promote student engagement.
Into Reading will be our primary phonics, spelling, fluency, and handwriting program. We’ll also use Fundations curriculum to supplement Into Reading.
