English and Language Arts instruction is carried out following the SAU 15 English and Language Arts competencies. Our reading instruction includes active and engaging activities connected to early reading skills in phonics, phonemic awareness, comprehension, vocabulary development, and writing. We use Imagine It! as our core reading program. We also use other supplemental programs and resources like Project Read and Michael Heggerty's Phonemic Awareness. The students experience daily read alouds that integrate poems, songs, chants, along with fiction and non-fiction texts. They also participate in small group/center-based learning activities to develop their reading skills.
