Each unit in reading Street focuses on a Big Idea that connects learning to real life issues. Daily instruction continues to build a strong foundation of reading skills in phonemic awareness, alphabetic principles, fluency within the text, vocabulary, and comprehension. Students build knowledge that is deep and transferable each week as they explore the various aspects of each unit.
