Reading/Writing

In each learning unit, we share brief lessons to help beginning readers develop the strategic thinking skills necessary for a lifetime love of reading and writing — predictability and structures within text, how to decode words, and building comprehension. Ways we build literacy:

• Read and write about each other’s real-life experiences, families, hopes and dreams. • Study authors and illustrators—deconstructing published works—and creating versions of our own favorite books. • Regularly visit our vibrant school librarian, who shares new and exciting literature with them, as well as explores the rich offerings of a library.
