Students in Naugatuck Public Schools experience a science of reading approach to reading and reading instruction. Our approach is multi-tiered and individualized to a students' needs and interests, and focused on five areas of reading: comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, phonics and phonemic awareness, and fluency. Naugatuck uses ARC CORE curriculum in grades K-4 as a research-based approach to teaching reading. We also employ writer's workshop and book clubs to think critically about literature and make connections to the world around us.

Naugatuck's reading program has as its foundation the Independent Reading Level Assessment. We are able to provide reading instruction to our students whole class and through small groups using toolkits grounded in the work of the IRLA.
Book Clubs
Book Clubs
Naugatuck uses book clubs to teach concepts and skills through literature that students choose to read and that are connected to the essential questions and enduring understandings of the unit of study. Book clubs allow for small group discussions and learning with the teacher as facilitator.

Students in grades 5-12 are regularly exposed to a workshop model for critical thinking about reading. The workshop model allows for student choice in books around a particular theme, genre or author. The model embeds discussion, reflection, analysis and evaluation.
