BASIC COMPONENTS OF A COMPREHENSIVE LITERACY PROGRAM

 
We integrate our beliefs and teaching approaches every time we teach. In creating a comprehensive literacy program, we work to:
  • Establish a safe, caring, well-organized, risk-taking, collaborative classroom
  • Demonstrate reading, writing, and thinking processes
  • Promote and inspire inquiry across the curriculum
  • Discuss outstanding literature in many genres
  • Use resources-books, technology, librarians, colleagues, peers
  • Provide useful feedback, response, and evaluation to students and all stakeholders
  • Extend literature and curriculum through oral and written responses as well as through the arts
  • Share, celebrate, and publish meaningful work
  • Guide and support students in becoming independent, joyful, lifelong learners
