Reading

Reading for students involves developing foundational skills and strategies to comprehend and engage with texts effectively. It focuses on building phonemic awareness, decoding skills, and sight word recognition to enhance fluency. Students learn to identify and analyze story elements, such as characters, setting, and plot, to deepen their comprehension. They also explore vocabulary and sentence structure, expanding their language skills and understanding. Additionally, reading instruction encourages critical thinking, encouraging students to ask questions, make predictions, and draw inferences. Through a balanced approach of explicit instruction, guided practice, and independent reading, students develop a solid foundation for lifelong literacy and a love for reading.
