Literacy

Literacy consists of the skills necessary to read, write, listen and speak. Our reading programs focus on five elements of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension. Teachers use a variety of resources to ensure that Common Core State Standards are met across all grade levels.
