Reading, Writing, and More!
At New Vision, we use the Core Knowledge Language Arts Curriculum (CKLA). As their website states, CKLA is "a comprehensive Preschool–Grade 5 program for teaching skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking, Core Knowledge Language Arts™ also builds students’ knowledge and vocabulary in literature, history, geography, and science." Spelling, grammar, and Sayings and Phrases are also embedded in this rich curriculum.

Spelling

Spelling will begin in/around November.
We will introduce a new list of 10 words on Monday and will test on Friday. These words will directly follow our Orton-Gillingham phonics program, testing students on words that review phonograms explicitly taught in their kindergarten classrooms. When they study at home, your children are given a double exposure to these words and will rock their assessment! Thank you for supporting us!
