The Structured Literacy Plan for our K-5 students is a comprehensive approach designed to provide a systematic and evidence-based framework for teaching reading and writing. This plan focuses on building foundational skills in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, ensuring that every student has the tools they need to become proficient readers and writers. By emphasizing explicit instruction, regular progress monitoring, and differentiated support, the plan aims to meet the diverse needs of all learners, particularly those at risk for reading difficulties. Through this approach, we are committed tobuilding literacy success for all students, setting a strong foundation for their academic achievement and lifelong learning.
